Due to high demand for bus service in the 2025–2026 school year, Churchill County School District has placed waitlists on routes that have reached capacity. The CCSD Transportation Department worked to assign students to routes based on address, schedule, and alternate stops, but most routes are now full.
Families placed on a waitlist will be notified directly. Until they receive confirmation of an assigned seat, parents should arrange alternate transportation and should not send students to bus stops. Daily student counts are ongoing, and staff will reassign students as soon as space becomes available.
Once school begins, transportation staff will monitor bus rider volumes and work to accommodate all requests promptly. The district encourages families to coordinate carpools to ease demand. Note that high school students living within city limits are ineligible for district transportation as per policy. These measures align with Regulation 5144, supporting safe and effective transportation for students.
Questions about registration or waitlist status should be directed to the Transportation Department at [email protected].
In addition to these updates, CCSD is adjusting dismissal times for young students. For the 2025–2026 school year, Kindergarten and first-grade students at Lahontan Elementary School will dismiss at the same time as students at E.C. Best and Numa Elementary Schools. The aim is to streamline operations and improve traffic flow around campuses.
Recognizing the overlap of dismissal times may inconvenience families with children at multiple schools, each elementary site will supervise students in a designated area after dismissal. This accommodates parents who need extra minutes to travel between campuses. Staff will oversee students through the designated dismissal window.
CCSD officials will monitor conditions at each campus during the first months of school and will communicate any further adjustments well in advance.
Start and end times for all schools in the district are available on the district’s website. Churchill County School District remains committed to providing a safe, responsive environment for students and looks forward to welcoming families back for the new school year.
