Four of our students tested positive for COVID today. They are in seventh, eighth, ninth, and eleventh grades. We are in communication with the Pyramid Lake Tribal Health Clinic about our response to these cases and our safety protocols. We will continue to work with them to coordinate our responses to COVID-19 cases. We encourage everyone 12 years and older to get vaccinated. Please be COVID safe this holiday weekend.

We have two more dual enrollment students to rave about! Kiera started a welding class at TMCC last week as part of our dual enrollment program. She says class was fun! We can't wait to see what skills she gains. Tyger is continuing in his second year of full-time dual enrollment at WNC. Tyger did a full load of WNC classes online last year through the shutdown and did GREAT! Although all of our other dual enrollment students are attending TMCC, he's going to stick with WNC. We're so proud of Kiera and Tyger! For those of you keeping track, that's 21 students we have enrolled in dual enrollment! Go Lakers!

The first Thursday of every month (that's this Thursday!) is college gear day. Lakers are encouraged to wear shirts from their favorite colleges, universities, and technical programs instead of their uniform shirts on college gear day. Where have people in your family gone? Where have you visited? Where to dream of attending? Let's show our college pride! 🦎Also: students who are in our dual credit program with TMCC can wear TMCC gear any day of the week! They can also wear jeans on Mondays and Wednesdays when they attend the TMCC campus. 🦎

We are still installing our new air quality meters, but here there are for most of our classrooms. You can see that they're all green. Green is good, safe air. They run in opposite numbers than AQI. Anything over 80 is good. 60-79 is warning, and 59 and under is unsafe. When numbers drop down, we increase the air flow to the room by turning the AC on or by opening the flue up a little. Then we monitor to make sure the numbers come back up quickly. With this system, we can make monitor air quality remotely and can make sure the building is safe to bring kids into in the morning.

Families, we will be holding school as usual today. Our air monitors say the air in the building is clean. The smoke forecast for near surface smoke in Nixon is light to moderate for the day. We will let you know if the air quality in the building deteriorates. We only get three snow/cancelation days in a school year, then have to make up missed days in June and no one wants to do that. As long as our is safe, we will go ahead with holding classes.

We know Washoe County canceled school for today because of the air quality and that they just called a state of emergency because of the smoke, but we feel confident that Pyramid Lake Jr./Sr. High School can stay open for now and that we'll be able to tell you when the air is not safe for children. At this time, we want to keep students safe and learning in school. We have new air quality monitors that we're installing. You can see in the third picture that our AQI is 85, putting it in the yellow moderate range. We'll be installing these throughout the school this week, so we can accurately monitor the air quality for our students and staff. We have several air scrubbers here at PL, such as the one shown below in the first two pictures, filtering our air through powerful HEPA filters. We also have industrial strength filters, filtering our air coming into the building. We've had to change filters out a couple of times this fire season to keep the air coming into the building clean and fresh. Once it's inside, the air scrubbers make sure it stays clean. The air scrubbers make our school more COVID safe, since they have been shown to reduce infection rates, but they also make our air at school more safe during these terrible smoke days. We hope the wildfires and smokey days end soon so we aren't forced to use our snow days as smoke days and risk adding days to the end of the school year.

Isn't this a beautiful spot to have lunch? With the clearer air the last couple of days, PL students have been able to enjoy our new picnic tables. Eating outdoors is much safer during the pandemic so we encourage kids to eat outside when the air is safe.

Pyramid Lake Jr./Sr. High School will be starting at the REGULAR TIME today. We will NOT be having a start as Washoe Schools are. They are calling it because of air quality for kids who live up north close to the Dixie Fire. Our buses are already out getting kids, so we will start our day at 7:30, as usual.

Lakers families, we've been getting some questions about uniform attire. Please make sure your students are not wearing leggings or jeans to school. Thank you for your helping us teach the students how to dress like a Laker!

PLHS is so lucky to have these two women on staff! They make our school a truly unique and special place for our students. One of our changes this year is that we now have twice as many Native Studies-based courses! Mrs. Wright teaches Native Studies to all of our freshmen, plus Native Art and Native Dance. Mrs. Brady teaches Native photography, Native Film, Native Geography (with cooking), and UNITY as a school-wide leadership class. We are honored to have them on staff sharing their wisdom with our students!
