The Washoe County School District will welcome most students back to classrooms Monday as the 2026-27 school year begins, including the opening of two new schools and several changes affecting students and families. Students attending Incline Village schools will return one week later, with classes starting Monday, August 17. “We are excited to welcome our families and students back for another school year,” WCSD Board President Adam Mayberry said. District Superintendent Tiffany McMaster said staff spent the summer preparing schools and classrooms for students' return. Beginning this school year, students enrolled in prekindergarten and kindergarten will start classes on the same day as all other students.
