ATTENTION PARENTS AND STUDENTS

On schools days designated as "Late Start" for your school, busses will arrive exactly 90 minutes later than regularly scheduled.  Refer to your school's calendar for those days where the 90 minute late start days are scheduled.

The Douglas County School District is pleased to offer our parents and students the Infinite Campus Portal, where parents and students can view grades, attendance, schedules and messages from the teacher and school. 

Parents with students in Middle and/or High School will receive an activation key in the mail from their school this week (August 8-12) which can then be used to create a portal account.  Elementary student families will receive their activation key later in the month.  When your account is created, you can log into the portal. You can also find this link on the Parents page.

Students will receive login information from their school either by mail or during the first week of school.  The same link above will work for students, and they can also find it on the Students page.

If you are also a staff member with students in our district, you do not need to activate your account. Just log in as you normally do for Infinite Campus.

Check out the Mobile App too!

The Douglas County School District Kindergarten Registration for the 2016-2017 school year is ongoing at your neighborhood elementary school. Your child must be 5 years old by September 30th to attend kindergarten during the 2016-2017 school year.

Original birth certificate, up-to-date immunizations, and proof of residency (utility bill with street address) in your neighborhood are required to register your child. Please contact the school directly if you have any questions.

For students under the age of 18 who intend to pursue a driver's license in Nevada, there are important requirements that should be carefully reviewed in the DMV's handbook. The handbook can be viewed online here.  Among those requirements is a new student attendance requirement.

School Attendance Requirements:
Beginning January 1, 2015, State Law requires that anyone under the age of 18 who applies for an instruction permit, driver's license or driver authorization card must provide the DMV with proof that he or she meets the minimum school attendance requirements.

If you are a student who meet the minimum requirement of 90% school attendance, the new form will be available through the principal's office at your school.

If you are a student who does not meet the minimum requirement of 90% school attendance, you will need to demonstrate the necessary level of attendance for 30 days before you can request the form from your school.

The Douglas County Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) will have the authority to postpone or suspend a student's eligibility for a driver's license if truancy has reached a specific level. If you are a student who has been previously declared as a habitual truant (pursuant to NRS 392.144) and your license was suspended, you must provide proof that you are now meeting the minimum attendance standards for reinstatement of your driving privileges.

If you are no longer attending school but you are under the age of 18, you may still obtain the necessary form from a Douglas County High School if you can demonstrate that you have either earned a Diploma or a Certificate of the High School Equivalency Exam (HSE).   Once you have obtained the form, signed by the school district's designated official, you must take it to the DMV within 60 days of the date it was signed. 

Douglas County School District is proud to be raising the rigor for all students K-12!
