Greetings, Families of West Las Vegas Students:
West Las Vegas Schools honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., celebrating his dream of equality and justice for all. As we observe this day, let us reflect on his teachings and strive to promote kindness, understanding, and unity within our school community and beyond. Together, we can make a difference! That is our West Las Vegas Way. We just wanted to let you know that there will be no school on Monday, January 20th, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Wishing you a safe and wonderful weekend.

Dear WLVS Family,
We are writing to inform you of a recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, a software vendor that provides our Student Information System (SIS).
On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, PowerSchool informed our leadership team that they experienced a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain PowerSchool SIS customer data. Unfortunately, they have confirmed that the information belongs to some WLVS families and educators.
PowerSchool informed us that the data taken primarily includes parent and student contact information and data elements such as name and address information. Across their customer base, they have determined that some personally identifiable information (PII), such as social security numbers (SSN) and medical information, was impacted for a portion of individuals. They are urgently working to complete their investigation and determine whether PII belonging to our students was included.
Protecting our students is something we take seriously. With PowerSchool’s help, more information and resources (including credit monitoring or identity protection services, if applicable) will be provided to you as they become available. Thank you for your patience and understanding. PowerSchool updates and frequently asked questions are available at https://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/.
Sincerely,
Mr. Christopher Gutierrez, Superintendent

Good evening. Due to icy conditions, West Las Vegas Schools will be on a two hour delay.
Good evening,
As we prepare for the break, we wanted to send a notice regarding a situation at WLVMS that resulted in the district collaborating with the LVPD, SMCS, NMSP, and the DA to ensure student safety. Out of an abundance of caution; we ask that you remind your children that any threats will be investigated and dealt with accordingly. Threats can be made in many ways and include suggestive words or images. Parents, please encourage your children to report suspicious activity. The district is considering ordering clear backpacks and conducting additional drills to protect everyone in the event of an emergency. These considerations may happen as soon as January. We appreciate the support and receptiveness to our ideas. Wishing you a safe and wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
