Past students have shared positive experiences with the Skillify program:

 

“The program went way better and was more fun than I expected. I was really nervous since it was my first time, but Skillify helped me figure out what I want to do in life and showed me how to make connections to find the jobs I want.” — Rebecca G.

 

Registration is required and must be completed before attending the event. Please take a moment to help your student register today—it only takes about two minutes to complete.

Important Reminders

Cell Phone Policy

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:

  • A progressive discipline plan based on the number and severity of violations
  • Clear limitations on the use of electronic communication devices during instructional time
  • Specific exceptions to any limitations outlined in the policy

Capmus Dress code

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.

 

No Bag Policy

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.
