WELCOME TO LAS VEGASLas Vegas (“The Meadows” in Spanish) was founded as a city on May 15, 1905. At that time, Las Vegas was only 19.18 square miles and had a population of approximately 800.

The Las Vegas Valley has been named as the fastest growing area in the United States. The good climate, the economy, the job opportunities and the many amenities offered are some of the factors prompting our growth.

Las Vegas is the largest metropolitan city in the United States that was founded in 20th century. Approximately 98% of Nevada is owned by the federal Government And the growth continues still. The latest population prediction in the Las Vegas valley is over 2 million people by 2008. As the valley runs out of commutable housing space, high rise condominiums dot the master plans for the Las Vegas of tomorrow.

Growth in population comes hand-in-hand with great job potential and Las Vegas continues to boom with strong economic and employment opportunities. Since 1990, Las Vegas has also ranked number one in high-tech job growth (primarily high-tech services). Consequently, the Nevada labor force has increased by nearly 350,000 people in the last decade.

Construction, distribution and trade, Financial Institutions, Gaming, Government, Manufacturing and High Technology, & Travel and Tourism are among the industries with the greatest job potential in Las Vegas. With 39.1 million visitors and 6.2 million convention delegates visiting Las Vegas in 2007, tourism and conventions continue to be the city’s major industries.

In February 2007, Inc. named Las Vegas “Hottest City in America,” among large cities, and in 2006 Forbes magazine named Las Vegas as one of the top three best cities to find a job. As Las Vegas continues to grow, the economic future through the next decade will continue to be strong.

Whether you are in town for business or pleasure, check out the monorail. It’s fast, fun and convenient transportation between Las Vegas strip hotels.

TRANSPORTATIONLas Vegas is a hub for airlines, railroads, trucking and highways. Major and regional airlines find Las Vegas to be one of their most popular destinations. Las Vegas was founded as a railroad city. Because of its central location, it is still a principal on-route destination for the railroads.

Las Vegas' convention and entertainment industries, together with unparalleled outdoor recreation, have stimulated phenomenal growth in Southern Nevada. Today, nearly half of all Las Vegas visitors arrive by air via McCarran International Airport, making it a major driving force in the Southern Nevada economy and one of the top ten busiest airports in the world. Income derived from aviation activity generates significant economic benefits estimated at 25 billion dollars a year. In addition to these tangible benefits, McCarran is a valuable community asset that links Southern Nevada to the national air transportation system and brings the world to Las Vegas.

Private aviation is serviced at McCarran, the North Las Vegas Air Terminal and Sky Harbor Airport in Henderson. Limousine and taxi service is available 24 hours.

Citizens Area Transit has been serving Las Vegas since December 1992. CAT ridership increased from 15 million in 1993 to more than 63 million in 2007. The RTC introduced The Deuce, a premiere double decker transportation service, to the Las Vegas Strip on Oct. 27, 2005. It services the residential routes of Las Vegas and Henderson in addition to the “Strip.” In 2009 the RTC will launch the ACE Rapid Transit system starting with the ACE Downtown Connector.

The system consists of 36 routes served by 360 vehicles, carrying close to 190,000 passengers everyday in the greater Las Vegas Valley.

ATTITUDES

www.ccsd.net

EnrollmentIn order to enroll students:

• Must have proof of immunizations before classes begin

•

Parents entering their children in a District School for the first time must have identification, child’s social security number, and two forms of proof of address. Proof of child’s identity can be the original birth certificate or passport. Identification must be an original –

no copies are accepted. The required proof of address can be a recent utility bill, rent receipt, residence lease or sales contract. Telephone bills, cable bills, and driver’s license are not accepted as proof of address.

•

All students who are transferring from another school district require transcripts or report cards from the previous school.

ImmunizationsNevada law requires that children in kindergarten through grade 12 are current with their immunizations before they are allowed to enter school. Parents/guardians are to bring immunization records with them to school when they register their child.

A child will not be allowed to attend school without documentation of immunizations. Exceptions are permitted for “religious objections,”

which requires a letter from the parent or guardian stating the religious objection, or for a medical condition, which requires a letter from a health care provider.

For the new school year, students must be up to date with all required immunizations. Students entering 7th grade also must have the recently-mandated Tdap

vaccine which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, or whooping cough.

Students new to Nevada are required to have immunizations for hepatitis A and B, and varicella (chicken pox). If a child has had chicken pox, the parent or guardian must sign a “Verification of Disease”

form, which is available at each school. A second dose of MMR is required for all kindergarten and first-grade students.

Contact the Clark County Health District at 383-1351 for more information.
