Friday, September 27th - No School for Students & Staff

With the beginning of a new school year, and the close contact we have with one another, brings respiratory illnesses; Influenza (Flu), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and COVID-19.

Symptoms of all three are very similar, which makes it hard to distinguish between these illnesses. Therefore, if you think your child may have one of these respiratory illnesses, please get them tested by a healthcare provider so we can prevent the spread in our schools and community.

Students suspected of having a communicable disease may be temporarily excluded from school until an appropriate medical authority determines that the student is not a health or safety threat to other students or staff members. Written documentation may be required from a medical care provider if determined by the school nurse.

Students will be excluded for any of the following conditions:

1. Fever 100.4 degrees F or higher

2. Signs or symptoms of possible severe respiratory illnesses (Flu, COVID, RSV)

3. Diarrhea, defined as having more than 6 loose stools in a 24-hour period, or 3 in a 7 1/2 hour school day.

4. Vomiting

5. Mouth or nose sores (e.g., Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease)

6. Rash

7. Suspicious skin lesions (e.g., Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease)

8. Conjunctivitis (pink eye)

9. Unusual color of skin, eyes, stool, or urine
   
   

Exclusion may also occur for the mildly ill child if the child is unable to participate in normal activities or if the child needs more care than can be provided by school health staff.

We are all excited to be back at school! As we encourage children to learn and share, they also share things we don't want them to: Head Lice!

Churchill County High School Athletic Director, Brian Mello, announced on Tuesday, September 3, that CCHS was selected as one of the T-Moblie $5K Fridays Sweepstake winners and they are now eligible to win $25,000, and a grand prize.

Mello entered CCHS into the T-Mobile Sweepstake on August 24. “Ed Romero, the Rural Market Manager for T-Mobile, stopped by the high school and told me a little about the sweepstakes. I thought it would be an incredible opportunity for our athletic program and our school community as a whole,” Mello said.

Rural schools were the only schools eligible to enter into the sweepstakes. Mello had to submit two essays, one about what CCHS would do with the money if they won, and another about what Friday night means to the community. Once the essays were submitted and CCHS was approved, the real work began. “We created a cchs_greenwaveathletics Instagram page and had to create posts that included #FN5GL and #Sweepstakes and tag @TMobile,” Mello said.

Once posted, students, families, and the entire community were encouraged to post their school spirit on Instagram to increase the odds of CCHS winning extra cash as part of what T-Mobile referred to as $5K Fridays. “Whether it was a picture of students posing at a pep rally or cheering at a game, anyone could represent the community and show off their Greenwave spirit. All they had to do was tag cchs_greenwaveathletics, and T-Mobile, and use the hashtags Sweepstakes and FN5GL to ensure each entry was counted,” Mello said.

On Tuesday, September 3rd, Mello received word that CCHS won the $5K Friday Sweepstakes. “I had no doubts that our school and community would prevail. This is a very exciting time for us and I already have some plans for the $5K to better our athletic facilities,” Mello said.

Now that CCHS has been selected as one of the $5K Fridays Sweepstakes winners they are eligible for $25,000, and the grand prize of $100,000, which includes a donation from National Football League Rob Gronkowski for a new or improved weight room. “Winning the $25K or the grand prize would be amazing for our school and Fallon. It would show everyone that this small, rural community can come together and achieve anything. However, without the community's help, it will be hard to win. So we need members of the community to pull through and help us out. Let’s show the world what Fallon can do,” Mello said.

You can help CCHS reach the next milestone as a Top 16 finalist by sharing your best Greenwave moments and tagging @TMobile, @cchs_greenwaveathletics, and using the hashtags #FN5GL and #Sweepstakes on Instagram. Every post made with @TMobile, @cchs_greenwaveathletics, #FN5GL, and #Sweepstakes is another entry for the $25,000 sweepstakes and the grand prize.

“In my opinion, our high school is the best. Not only do we excel in academics, but also in athletics. Our facilities are already beautiful and I am so proud when we get to host other teams and show off what we have. Winning the next round, and the final round would help elevate our athletic facilities and we could make it something that no one in Rural Nevada has seen at a high school level. Having top-notch facilities makes the entire student body proud to be a member of our school. With the community's help, we can have a venue to be proud of, a venue that makes the entire student body proud to be a Greenwave,” Mello said.

T-Mobile representatives will be at the homecoming game on Friday, September 20, to present CCHS with a check during halftime. They will also have a ton of giveaways for all in attendance including thundersticks, t-shirts, stadium seats, and more. Kick-off is at 7:00 p.m.

On Thursday, I stopped by the high school to visit classrooms and engage in student learning. I had the opportunity to visit multiple rooms, but particularly enjoyed Ms. Hammond’s Advanced Art Class and Ms. Pimental’s Welding. Each classroom offered a student lens on learning, with students fully engaged in career-pathway articulation. What made each of these classroom’s unique? Each room highlighted student-led learning initiatives.

Student led learning empowers students to take ownership of their education by encouraging active participation, critical thinking and collaboration with their teacher and peers. In Ms. Hammond’s room, a student was painting a sunset landscape as a gift to his elders at the reservation, while another was painting a CASH ONLY sign for an upcoming school event. In Ms. Pimental’s welding, students were actively bead welding; a critical component for career assessment and future career opportunities. When asked about bead welding, one of the students exclaimed it was a tedious task of patience and detail, noting the obligation of practice and endurance.

As I was leaving the school, I reflected upon the wondrous opportunities we are extending to our students. ChurchillCSD is truly aligning our work to foster growth, success, and opportunity. What a great experience! Thank you to CCHS for sharing their enthusiasm for learning.

As I was leaving the school, I noticed a parking ticket on my car! Parking ticket?!?! My car was apparently flagged as a “potential student parking violation.” I have to giggle, as it is good to know I was in the building long enough to be assumed a “student.” In all serious consideration, I would love to be a CCHS student. Learning is different nowadays, and I wish learning back then was as engaging as it is now. Thank you CCHS for a great visit!

Did you know that every school has a Facebook page? That’s right, you can follow each school's Facebook page and receive daily/weekly updates on important dates, times, events & information! Schools also post fun activities/events that your learners are participating in.
