Back to school season is here!
Here are several free back to school events to help students prepare for the upcoming school year.

The Clark County School District (CCSD) will begin the 2025-2026 school year on Monday, August 11, 2025.
Registration for new and returning students opened in April 2025, and parents can complete registration online or at their child's zoned school. Essential documents for registration include parent/guardian ID, child's ID, immunization records, and proof of address.

Private school schedules may differ and vary, as private schools have the autonomy to set their own term dates and holidays, unlike public schools which follow state or district-mandated calendars. Information provided above refers to the Clark County School District, which is a public school district and not applicable to private institutions.

As a reminder, safety measures will resume for the school year, drivers need to adhere to school zone speed limits, avoid passing in school zones, and report suspicious activity through the SafeVoice Nevada app.

Nevada State Police (Department of Public Safety) Director George Togliatti has appointed Michael Edgell as Colonel of the Nevada Highway Patrol Division.

Edgell’s law enforcement and public safety experience encompasses over 25 years. He joined the Department of Public Safety / Nevada State Police in 1998 and served within multiple divisions, beginning with the Nevada Highway Patrol where he served for 22 years, starting as a trooper in commercial and traffic safety enforcement and as a public information officer.

He was promoted from the rank of trooper to the rank of sergeant overseeing training and personnel and continued his rise in rank to become a lieutenant supervising the Carson/Tahoe/Minden regions.

Edgell transferred to the Training Division as Deputy Chief, overseeing the department’s academy and training programs statewide. He then promoted to Captain and Deputy Chief of the department’s Investigation Division.

In 2023, Edgell retired from service, however his retirement was very brief – he once again answered the call to serve, returning to the department as the Chief of the Investigation Division, managing statewide investigations into homicides, illegal drug activity and other major crimes.

Effective June 30, 2025, Michael Edgell will return to the division that he began his law enforcement career in and take command as the Colonel of the Nevada Highway Patrol, overseeing the division’s three regions across the State of Nevada.

“Michael Edgell brings extensive experience and knowledge to the position of Colonel for the Nevada Highway Patrol,” said Director George Togliatti. “He is committed to the agency’s mission and to serving the public, with a focus on integrity, professionalism, and public safety throughout Nevada.”

“It is an honor to serve as the Colonel of the Highway Patrol and work alongside the dedicated men and women who serve and protect our communities across the State of Nevada,” said Colonel Michael Edgell. “Together, we will carry forward our mission of keeping Nevada’s roadways safe. Thank you to Director Togliatti for this opportunity.”

Barbecue Safely

Grilling season is heating up — but don’t let safety cool down. 🔥🌭
Clark County Fire Department wants your Memorial Day BBQ to be about good food — not unexpected emergencies.

Before you fire up the grill:
• Keep your grill at least 10 feet away from homes, buildings, and overhangs
• Create a 3-foot “kid and pet-free zone” around the grill
• Use long-handled tools to avoid burns
• Never leave a hot grill unattended
• Clean grease and fat buildup regularly to prevent flare-ups
• Keep a garden hose nearby in case of fire
• Use grills only outdoors — never inside or in enclosed spaces

Grill smart, stay safe, and let’s make this a fire-free weekend. 🚒
