VEA has restored power at the district office in Pahrump. It will take between and 30-60 minutes to bring all systems back online for internet and phones.
VEA is estimating another 90 minutes to repair the power at the district office, which has taken out phones and internet at the schools. They found the source of the outage and have a crew on the way.
Classes are proceeding mostly normally. There is no change to school schedules.
Parents and Guardians,
If you would like alerts on your phone when we have a situation like today's Pahrump power outage, please download the NCSD app and turn on the notifications as pictures in the attached image. Links to the app are at the bottom of our webpage: https://www.nye.k12.nv.us/
You can specify which of our schools from which you want to receive alerts, and you can update those settings as your kids grow and change schools.
Alert: A power outage is affecting the district office in Pahrump. Because out this, no schools have internet, and most phone systems are affected.
The schools have power, so instruction continues, and the school schedules are proceeding normally.
Because of the AT&T outage, many of our employees cannot use Dojo to communicate to families, so please be patient.

This also affects our phones systems. At this time, schools cannot receive calls or call out using the school phones.
Teaching and learning is still happening. There are no emergencies.
We just wanted you to know why no one is answering any phones.

The Lockdown/Stay-Put Status at Johnson Elementary, PVHS, Pathways, and Great Basin have been lifted per the NCSSO. (1:40PM, 5/17/23)
J.G. Johnson Elementary has been placed on a Lockdown alert as a precautionary measure by the NCSO due to a shooting in the neighborhood unrelated to the schools
A Lockdown Alert involves the following
- All exterior and interior doors are locked
- Classroom instruction stops. Staff and students ready for response.
- No hallway traffic
- No building entrance except for response personnel
- Attendance is taken upon the conclusion of the lockdown
NCSO and NCSD are aware of the social media posts threatening violence at schools tomorrow, May 10, 2023. A thorough investigation was conducted and it was determined that the threatening post originated outside of Nevada and was directed at a school in Clark County. NCSO has determined there is no credible threat to any NCSD schools. Out of an abundance of caution, patrols will be increased so there is a more visible NCSO presence around our schools.
