The Washoe County School District says it's working with regional public safety officials to monitor the fires burning around the region.
The district says all WCSD schools will be open for the first day of school August 10, as no schools are currently in evacuation zones.
Bus transportation will not be able to operate in the areas designated as “red” or “yellow”, meaning those that have been evacuated or are standing by for possible evacuation.
You can see the latest evacuation maps at Perimeter Map.
If a school site is placed in a yellow or red zone overnight, the school will be closed, and families will be notified in the morning.
Officials are closely monitoring the following schools due to the potential of changing conditions:
- Desert Heights Elementary School
- Silver Lake Elementary School
- Lemmon Valley Elementary School
- Shaw Middle School
- Spanish Springs High School
- Alyce Taylor Elementary School
- Jesse Hall Elementary School
If you have not received any further notifications by 5:30 am tomorrow, Monday, August 10, your child’s school will be in session.
