GBC CTE Open House: Happening Tomorrow!

This Saturday at 1 PM Carlin Student Council is hosting a donkey basketball event between the Carlin Fire Dept. and Carlin Police Department. Proceeds go to the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation.

The Nevada School Climate/Social Emotional Learning Survey (NV-SCSEL) is used to gather student feedback about their experiences at school. The NV-SCSEL surveys are administered to students in grade 5 and up throughout the state of Nevada during the fall of each school year. The NV-SCSEL surveys measure students’ perceptions of key aspects of school climate, including physical and emotional safety, relationships, and cultural and linguistic competence, as well as students’ social and emotional competencies. The survey is an opportunity for students to anonymously share their experiences of their school’s climate with their school, school district, and NDE. To learn more about the survey, visit nevadaschoolclimate.org. Elko County School District will be administering the survey to students (5th -12th grade) between November 20th and December 14th , 2023. Parents can preview the survey here: https://5il.co/28q0d Questions on the survey are optional. Students can choose not to answer any question they do not want to answer. Parents can opt their child(ren) out of participating in the survey by contacting their child(ren)’s school. If you have any questions about the NV-SCSEL survey, please contact your child(ren)’s school.

It's National School Psychology Week! 🏫🧠 Please help us recognize ECSD school psychologists: Aaron Fisher Hans Gaul Juan Granillo Jackie Granillo Karen Ozols Hayley Schumacher Colette Wickersham With the theme “Let’s Grow Together,” schools around the country will highlight the role of school psychologists and school-based mental health services in promoting student success. School psychologists partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior to help children and youth succeed socially, behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. They are also important members of school safety and crisis teams. For more information:https://www.nasponline.org/
