Here are answers to FAQ for parents of CCSD children

With the Clark County School District resuming school Aug. 24, information is coming out almost daily on where families can access technology, meals and child care.

Here is a FAQ to assist parents:

What do I need to do as a CCSD family?

CCSD is asking all students to complete a survey of technology needs available in English or Spanish at https://aarsiapps.ccsd.net/survey/.

New and returning families must also register their students online or at their zoned school. Zoning information is available online at ccsd.net/schools/zoning/search/or at 702-799-6430.

Where can I get help with a Chromebook or internet access?

A new community call center is helping families who need help accessing devices or require internet service. It can be reached at connectingkidsnv.org or at 888-616-2476.

Where is there public Wi-Fi?

CCSD has released a list of 70 community partners offering free internet access, including the county libraries and community centers, as well as private businesses like Jamba Juice and McDonald’s.

Where is there meal service?

CCSD will continue to provide meals to students through Friday at current food distribution sites. Beginning Aug. 24, food service will only be available to district students who pay or have free meal eligibility unless the district receives a waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A decision on that is pending.

Where do I find information on the city-based child care programs?
