As the impact of COVID-19 grows, we think it is important that you hear directly from us about the safety measures and operational changes we have enacted to keep you and our team safe. Our focus remains on the health and safety of our team and students while doing our part to restrict the spread of disease. We know it is critical for us to be transparent with information, and to be as proactive and responsive as we can be.

Our school policy includes the measures we are actively taking to mitigate the spread of coronavirus also known as COVID-19. You are kindly requested to follow all these rules diligently, to sustain a healthy and safe environment. It’s important that we all respond responsibly and transparently to these health precautions. This coronavirus (COVID-19) school policy is susceptible to changes with the introduction of additional governmental guidelines. 

To ensure we are compliant with all government and health officials recommendations we are doing our part with the following measures:

The new directive requires Nevadans and visitors to wear face coverings when they are out in public, with limited exceptions. Face mask are mandatory to enter the facility. https://nvhealthresponse.nv.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/6.22-Guidance-on-Improvised-Facial-Coverings-JH-V1.pdf

All classes are instructor led and available via online or a classroom with limited seating

Our team has been instructed to wash their hands frequently

In addition, we promise to do all that we can to keep our team, students and the community safe – all while delivering you the best educational experience we can.
