Say Hello to Rooms

The Nye County School District is thrilled to announce the launch of "Rooms," a new communication platform designed to enhance communication between parents, guardians, students, and teachers. This innovative tool will be available to all schools and grade levels within the district by the beginning of the 25/26 school year with a few schools starting this month.

Rooms offers a convenient and centralized hub for seamless communication within the NCSD App, allowing parents and guardians to stay informed about their child's education. With Rooms, users can:

  • Chat directly with teachers: Send private messages to teachers and receive timely responses.

  • Receive class-specific announcements: Stay updated on homework assignments, upcoming events, and important reminders.

  • Access information in one location: Find all school-related news, events, and classroom information for all of your students regardless of the school they attend within the NCSD app.

“We are excited to introduce Rooms to our district,” says Robert Williams, NCSD Communications Officer. “This platform will improve how we connect with families, providing them with real-time access to information and direct communication with teachers at all grade levels. We believe Rooms will foster stronger partnerships between home and school, ultimately benefiting our students' success."

Rollout Plan:

The Rooms platform will be rolled out in phases, beginning with Pahrump Valley High School and select users in Beatty and Tonopah.

  • October 2, 2024: The Rooms Support page goes live on the NCSD website to answer questions. (https://www.nye.k12.nv.us/page/rooms-support)
