Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Throughout the week, over 18,000 dedicated licensed personnel will be celebrated in our District. Our educators are the backbone of the District and make an impact on the lives of students that extends beyond the classroom.
We can’t wait to celebrate our educators for showing up and educating the children of Southern Nevada.
Take a moment to thank our educators and let them know how they’ve made a difference in your students’ lives.
Make sure to tag us on social media and use hashtag #TeacherAppreciationWeek to show us how you’re celebrating!
Additionally, a few of the Nevada lawmakers are sending messages to educators for Teacher Appreciation Week! They will be posted on our Facebook, Instagram, and X accounts throughout the week.
