Just in Case: Potential Reduction of Enrollment due to COVID Protocols

For the safety and security of our employees and program participants, the City of Reno follows Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, State of Nevada directives, and Washoe County Health District (WCHD) and Washoe County School District (WCSD) policies and procedures for COVID response and protocols. It is important that the City of Reno provide as much advance notice as possible to our Sierra Kids families regarding potential program changes.

Out of an abundance of caution and while it has not yet been determined, if enrollment numbers for the Sierra Kids Before and After School Program have to be reduced because of COVID protocols, enrollment will be honored on a first come, first serve basis using our email database as the indicator of the order of enrollment. It will be an unfortunate situation to find ourselves in; however, we must be prepared during these unprecedented times. Tough decisions will have to be made due to space constraints and we feel the fairest solution will have to be that families who were the last to register will have to be unenrolled and will need to secure child care services elsewhere. Again, it is important to reiterate we have not yet had to make this kind of decision; however, we would be remiss if we did not ask our Sierra Kids families to consider a plan b should it become necessary.

We greatly appreciate and enjoy serving our Sierra Kids families. Thank you for trusting us.

Please visit the Washoe County School District Website for information regarding school schedules.
