We Need Substitute Teachers!
Our school is currently in need of substitute teachers, and we’re reaching out to our community for help. Having a pool of reliable substitutes allows us to keep classes together with their peers, ensuring students stay on track with their learning and routines.
When we don’t have a sub available, classes are often split and students are placed in other classrooms. While we do our best to support them, this can cause disruptions to both the students being moved and the classes receiving them.
By stepping in as a substitute, you help provide consistency, minimize disruptions, and support our students’ academic and social success. If you or someone you know is interested in subbing—even just occasionally—we’d love to hear from you!
Please contact the school office to learn more about how to become a substitute teacher.

Parents and Guardians,
You are receiving invitations through email and text from Apptegy for a new communication service called Rooms.
Please accept the invitation even if your school is not yet using Rooms. Every school has a published classroom with a bit more information, so once you are set up, you can see what it looks like. PVHS, RCMS, Pathways, Beatty, Amargosa, Round Mountain, and Gabbs have all started to use Rooms with their teachers. We'll be expanding to more schools next year.
The service works through the NCSD App, and once you are signed up, you will automatically be connected to your school and students' teachers each year. It's a one-time registration.
Please view our information page if you have questions: https://www.nye.k12.nv.us/page/rooms-support
