Beginning Monday, April 28, the parents of any student with an unverified absence will receive an automated phone absence notification between the hours of 5:00-9:00 p.m. from ParentLink.
Introduction: ParentLink is a web-based notification service for K-12 school districts. ParentLink is capable of delivering messages via telephone, e-mail, (SMS) text message, fax, and printed letters to the students, parents, and staff in a participating district. Types of messages that can be sent include absence notifications, reminders, and general information. In emergency situations, ParentLink can prioritize and rapidly send messages containing important information from the district to school staff and parents.

Attention All students: Due to the large number of tardies and dress code violations the administration and campus security monitors will be conducting tardy and dress code sweeps. These sweeps will begin on May 1, 2008 and continue until the end of the school year. Tardy sweeps will begin immediately after the first period bell rings. All teachers are instructed to lock their doors at that time. All tardy students will report to the SAC. Students will not be allowed back into class without a notice. Dress Code sweeps will involve the Campus Security Monitors and Mrs. Price selecting a hallway and checking every class in that hallway for dress code violations. All students that violate dress code will be sent to the dean's office. Please be on time to class and dress appropriately for school.

Why take this class?
This course is now required for all newly admitted students in the UNLV College of Sciences. Normally, students must have a GPA of 3.0 for admission beginning Fall 2008. Students whose high school GPA is between 2.75 and 3.0 and who pass this course may be admitted to UNLV under special consideration. College students who take a course like this are more likely to graduate in four years, less likely to enroll in the wrong class, less likely to flunk a course, less likely to get into trouble for plagiarism, more likely to have clear career plans, and more likely to graduate with the right degree for their career.

Out of the recently concluded Legislative Session, Senate Bill 534 amended Nevada law to provide for increased protection of school facilities, personnel, and most importantly our students. To that end, the jurisdiction of School Police now extends to the streets adjacent to school property for the purpose of issuing traffic citations for violations during school and school related activities. School Police officials have informed us that they will be actively citing drivers engaging in illegal and potentially dangerous activities. This new ticketing authority is applicable to both moving and nonmoving traffic violations. Your child’s safety is our #1 priority. By promoting, following, and enforcing traffic safety rules in and around our campus, we can share in creating a greater level of security for all of our children.
