Welcome to the Parents & Community section of the District website! 

Parents/Guardians/Family Members
Greater Clark County Schools believes that you are your child’s first and most important teacher. It is our belief that parents, families and community engagement is essential to a student’s overall success. Research documents the positive effect that your involvement will have in shaping your child into a life-long learner. We encourage you to take a proactive role in promoting the value of education in your home.

We understand that in order for parent’s to be empowered, you must be equipped with the necessary tools and resources to support your child’s learning experience. We have created this section of our website to provide you with information and resources to help you become an active partner in your child’s education. The links outlined in this section (see left) are tools to help your child succeed in school. Together we will continue to educate, inspire and empower Clark County’s youth.

Volunteers are always needed within the school buildings. Please contact your child’s school to find out how you can assist.
