¡Hola, Nevadenses!
I know we’re still in spring, but if any of our readers are parents to current or future Clark County School District students, this is for you: Online registration for CCSD’s 2025-2026 school year is now open.
Families new to the district may begin their registration process online at register.ccsd.net. To register your new students into the district, you’ll need your (the parent’s or guardian’s) ID, the child’s birth certificate or passport, immunization record, and proof of address.
Families with students already enrolled at a CCSD school can now complete registration using Campus Parent via Infinite Campus (campus portal.ccsd.net).
CCSD recommends verifying that all of the contact information is up to date, including cell and work phones, home addresses, and emergency contact information.
The 2025-26 school year begins Monday, Aug. 11.
Have a good week!

In Nevada, former Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval, who currently serves as president of the University of Nevada, Reno, is one of 435 university and college presidents and chancellors to sign on to a letter protesting the “unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American education.”

Research shows that young people who would choose not to involve their parents are the patients most likely to suffer negative and harmful consequences—such as fear of physical or emotional abuse, loss of financial support or homelessness, fear of being forced to have a child against their will, or other serious family problems.
Under the parental notification law, physicians must notify a custodial parent or guardian at least 48 hours before performing an abortion on any unmarried, unemancipated minor unless certain exceptions apply.

The 50-year-old Las Vegas Jazz Society bridges generations through music and mentorship. “I would love to see jazz continued, and what better way to do it than to try and mentor people in something you’ve spent your entire life in?” Local jazz musician TomHall said. “And it’s working. We have some great young talent coming along who are going to be some of the best, if they continue. And if you give them the incentive and let them know they can do it, show them how and why, it feels good to see somebody blossom out of my efforts.” (Via Las Vegas Weekly)

Downtown serves up more bagels, promises second location in south Reno. “We ordered up this classic on a croissant with the suggested cream cheese addition, and when we opened the wrapper, the delicious gooeyness was barely still encased in its flaky vehicle. The perfectly crisp and cooked croissant was flaky and soft, and it was just clear from the jump that this breakfast sandwich was somehow built different.” (Via This is Reno)
