Resources

The Family Engagement Department provides all CCSD families with valuable resources and learning opportunities. Our mission is to empower and educate our families to support their child’s overall well-being and academic achievement.

Regardless of citizenship status, children living in the United States are legally permitted to receive an elementary, middle, and high school education through the U.S. public school system thanks to the 1982 decision in Plyler v Doe.

If you have a student who may qualify in one of the categories listed below and are in need of support, please contact UNIFY at (702) 799-0072 (extension 5019) or email SilvaAV@nv.ccsd.net.
