Building Cleared: District HVAC technicians have completed a sweep and confirmed the building is 100% safe.
HVAC Maintenance: Every air filter in the HVAC system has been replaced to ensure optimal air quality.
Enhanced Monitoring: We have installed 12 additional carbon monoxide detectors in strategic locations throughout the school for added peace of mind and continuous monitoring.

Subject: UPDATE: Round Mountain MHS Safety Inspection Complete
Dear Round Mountain Families,
The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority. I am pleased to follow up on my earlier message and inform you that the Middle/High School building has been cleared for re-entry.
All students are safe. Following a comprehensive inspection by our supplier and maintenance personnel, no propane leak was detected. As an added measure of safety, all propane sources have been disabled, and a district HVAC specialist is arriving to perform a secondary inspection.
Parents were notified of the initial building clearance earlier today. During the inspection, students were kept safely under constant supervision in the gym and on the elementary playground, where they were provided lunch.
Students are now returning to their classrooms, and we will continue with the remainder of the school day as scheduled. Thank you for your patience and for your trust in our safety protocols.

Dear Round Mountain Families,
The safety of our students is our highest priority. I am writing to inform you that the Middle/High School building was cleared this morning due to a possible propane leak.
Please be assured that all students are safe and accounted for. Parents and guardians are currently being notified of this incident.
Our staff acted immediately to ensure student safety. The propane supplier and maintenance personnel were notified, and the propane tanks have been shut off. During practice drills, your student learned that a building clearance or evacuation means students follow instructions to exit to a designated safe area for attendance.
We are monitoring the situation closely and will send another notification as soon as the building is cleared for re-entry. We ask that you please monitor the Nye County School District website or Facebook page for additional updates rather than calling the school, so that our phone lines remain open for emergency coordination.
Thank you for your patience and support.

Principal, Round Mountain Schools
March 27 (Mother–Son) & March 28 (Father–Daughter), 6–9 PM at the Simpson Center.
Thank you PTO for supporting our schools and making this happen!

Showing up matters, and our students proved it.
Great job, 3rd grade!
Thanks to your support—and the generosity of Round Mountain Gold Corp through the Round Up for Round Mountain Schools program—we were able to purchase cordless, lightweight vacuums for our custodians. These vacuums make it much easier to move from room to room—especially across our elementary modulars—making cleanup faster and more efficient.
Your small change is making a big difference, and we’re grateful for every roundup at the register. Thank you for helping us take care of the people who take care of our schools!
