📚✨ Students across Elko County School District celebrated Nevada Reading Week with storytelling, community readers, and a special visit from author Brad Herzog.
From March 2–5, Herzog traveled across the district visiting Northside, Jackpot, Owyhee, Carlin, Liberty Peak, Spring Creek, Mountain View, Southside, and Grammar #2 Elementary Schools. Students learned about creativity, imagination, and how even a single detail can change the direction of a story.
One unforgettable moment happened at Mountain View Elementary, where a student named Luke eagerly approached Brad after the presentation to share a book he had written. Brad took time to look through Luke’s work and encourage him to keep writing — a powerful reminder of how inspiring moments like these can spark confidence and creativity in young authors.
Events like Nevada Reading Week bring together teachers, families, and community members to celebrate literacy and encourage students to discover the joy of reading and storytelling.

8:05 a.m. - students line up and enter the building
8:10 a.m. - students arriving at school after this time should check in at the office for a tardy slip
Students should enter school via the playground gates, and only come through the office once the gates are closed.
Parents, if you are escorting your student in the morning, please drop them off at one of the outside playground gates.

Two-Hour Delay for Carlin, Elko and Spring Creek Schools
2/18/26 Two Hour Delays
Due to overnight snow accumulations and windy weather conditions, there will be a two-hour delayed start at CARLIN, ELKO, and SPRING CREEK schools today, Wednesday, February 18. Classes will begin two hours later than their typical start time, and bus pick ups will run exactly two hours later.
Please remember to drive slowly and carefully. Students will be waiting for buses, walking to school at different times, using different routes, and may be walking in the street due to snowy sidewalks. Please help keep our students safe and look out for each other.
We wrapped up our 100 Challenge this week and are so grateful to everyone who participated! Congratulations to all the students who earned a spirit shirt; they will be delivered in time for the 100th day of school during our Nevada Reading Week celebrations!
Big shout out to Blake G., the lucky winner of the $100 gift card!
Happy Presidents Day!
