Online Registration is now open for all Kindergarten and New Student registration for the 2022-2023 school year. If your student will not be returning next year, please let our office know! If your student will be returning, an annual update will be required in order to ensure we have the most accurate information.
Nevada Law states that a child must be 5 years old on or before the first day of school. The first day of the 2022-2023 school year is August 22, 2022. Some exceptions for the 2022-2023 school year may apply to students who have completed a Pre-Kindergarten program and who will be 5 years old by September 30, 2022.

A message from Assistant Principal, Kelly Winter:
Hello, and welcome to the new school year! I am excited to become part of the Lake School community! A little about myself: I was born in South Lake Tahoe and have lived in or near the lake for most of my life. I spent the last 19 years at Douglas High School as a math teacher, department chairperson, and leadership team member among other duties. I have a master's degree in Mathematics Education and another in Educational Leadership, and was the DCSD Distinguished Secondary Educator for 2020-21. I have two children in DCSD. Connor is a senior at DHS and Alex is an 8th grader at CVMS. I am a competitive endurance runner and OCR athlete, and spend most of my free time running on trails around Lake Tahoe. Being an administrator in the place that brings me peace and energy is incredibly exciting!
The required Annual Update and Review of your child's contact information will be available on your DCSD Infinite Campus parent portal on May 1, 2021. This required annual process has moved from paper format to the electronic parent portal and provides the District with the most current and accurate contact and health information in case of an emergency for your child. Updating this information will ensure that we are able to reach you in the most efficient and timely manner.
