West Las Vegas School District

Good evening, As we prepare for the break, we wanted to send a notice regarding a situation at WLVMS that resulted in the district collaborating with the LVPD, SMCS, NMSP, and the DA to ensure student safety. Out of an abundance of caution; we ask that you remind your children that any threats will be investigated and dealt with accordingly. Threats can be made in many ways and include suggestive words or images. Parents, please encourage your children to report suspicious activity. The district is considering ordering clear backpacks and conducting additional drills to protect everyone in the event of an emergency. These considerations may happen as soon as January. We appreciate the support and receptiveness to our ideas. Wishing you a safe and wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The letter below is being forwarded. The letter is from our school nurse. This letter is to inform you of our procedure in regard to children who are sick. If your child is ill, keeping him/her home from school is often most appropriate. A child who is sick will not be able to perform well in school and is likely to spread the illness to other children and staff. Our school protocol states that you should not send your child to school if he/she has the following: • Fever in the past 24 hours • Vomiting in the past 24 hours • Diarrhea in the past 24 hours • Chills • Sore throat • Rash • Strep Throat - must take an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school • Bad cold (upper respiratory infection) with a very runny nose or bad cough especially if it has kept the child awake at night. • Head lice - must be treated according to the nurse or doctor's instruction and are completely nit (egg) free, before returning to school • Eye infection - must take an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school If your child becomes ill at school and the school nurse feels the child is too sick to benefit from school or is contagious to other children, you will be called to come and take him/her home from school. Thank you for being so cooperative. Also please do not send your child to school to have the nurse see him/her. In doing so you are sending a sick child into school and risking the whole classroom and teachers from becoming ill. If your child is sick please keep them home and have them seen by a provider who has the appropriate resources to help them. Respectfully, Joseph Vigil RN WLVS District Nurse (505)-426-2547 Office (505)-617-6777 School Cell
