ThrivePoint Academy of Nevada hosted its first WinterFest on December 11, 2025 and it was a wonderful celebration for our school community. Students and staff enjoyed a festive afternoon filled with pasta and breadsticks, sweet treats, and hot chocolate generously provided by Dutch Bros and Starbucks.
The event featured a variety of fun activities and hands-on crafts. Students played Uno, Connect 4, and ring toss, sang karaoke, watched a holiday movie, and enjoyed coloring. They also created holiday cards, decorated cupcakes and ornaments, and made bracelets.
In the spirit of giving, we hosted a free coat giveaway, and every student received a goody bag or prize. The celebration even included a special visit from Santa Claus to close out the event.
Most importantly, WinterFest gave our students the opportunity to connect, share laughter, and create lasting memories together.
The Skillify Mentorship Program was a great success in November 2025. ThrivePoint students had the opportunity to learn valuable networking skills and were matched with mentors in career fields aligned with their interests.
Students heard from an engaging panel of community professionals, including CEOs, electricians, bankers, realtors, business owners, and supervisors. They practiced delivering elevator speeches and participated in one-on-one conversations with industry leaders to build confidence and real-world communication skills.
To celebrate their courage and participation, two students were awarded laptops during the event! Overall, the program provided meaningful connections and practical experiences to help students prepare for their Next Big Step.
ThrivePoint hosted our third Family Information Meeting on February 6, 2026. During the meeting, families learned more about our academic programs, community partnerships, and had the opportunity to share input and ideas for our Title I program.
As a special addition, Silver State Schools Credit Union provided a complimentary financial education workshop, offering valuable resources and practical guidance for families.
We appreciate everyone who attended and contributed to making the meeting a success.
ThrivePoint has proudly partnered with Communities In Schools (CIS) to further support our students and families. CIS works to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve success in life.
Our CIS Student Support Coordinator, Mrs. Amanda Musones-Chandler, is available on campus to provide assistance with basic and academic needs, as well as post-graduation support. Services include free school supplies, hygiene products, clothing assistance, food support, college and career readiness guidance, and referrals to community resources.
To access these supports, families are encouraged to reach out directly or have their student connect with Mrs. Musones-Chandler by email, phone, or in person.
Family Meal Bags are available on campus for eligible students. Students may take a meal bag home on Wednesdays or Thursdays at the end of their session. Remote students are also welcome to pick up a bag from campus.
Each Family Meal Bag includes non-perishable pantry staples such as cereal, pasta, canned vegetables, and other food items. Please note that bags are limited each week.

Over the summer, Joe Lombardo signed Nevada Senate Bill 444 into law, requiring all Nevada schools to adopt a policy addressing the use and possession of cell phones by students.
Under this law, school policies must include:
All ThrivePoint students receive two ThrivePoint t-shirts during their orientation session. As part of our Good Neighbor Campus Policy, students are required to wear their ThrivePoint t-shirt when attending any on-campus school activities.
This includes support sessions, standardized testing, scheduled appointments, and any other campus-based events.
Students who arrive without their t-shirt will be provided with a loaner shirt for the day. If a student needs a different size, a replacement shirt will be provided upon request.
We kindly ask parents and guardians to help reinforce this expectation by ensuring students come to campus prepared and wearing their ThrivePoint t-shirt.
To be prepared for a campus support session, students simply need to arrive on time, wear their ThrivePoint t-shirt, and be ready to engage in learning and support.
To maximize student safety and minimize distractions, ThrivePoint maintains a No Bag Policy on campus. Students should not bring backpacks, purses, or other bags to school.
If a student arrives with a bag, it will be collected and securely stored in a locker for the duration of their time on campus.
We kindly ask parents and guardians to help reinforce this policy by ensuring students do not bring bags to school.
Students who have checked out a Chromebook do not need to bring their device to campus, as Chromebooks are available for use during support sessions.
Campus will be closed the following dates:
ACT Testing, Grades 11-12
Tuesday, February 24, 2026
Spring Break
