egas PBS is committed to education and has been a major contributor in the
endeavor to ensure continuity of learning at home during the COVID-19 pan-
demic and school closures across Nevada.
Three days after schools closed, Vegas PBS launched a website, classroomcast.org,
filled with family-friendly lessons for students in elementary, middle and high school. Multi-
modality lesson formats are accessible and provide a wide variety as we understand that chil-
dren learn in many ways. Vegas PBS listened to the many caregivers working from home and
ensured that independent, engaging activities were also included to provide much needed fam-
ily support as well.

curriculum-based programming for grades 4- 8 broadcast from 2 p.m .- 4 p.m. and then for
grades 9-12, from 4 p.m .- 6 p.m. Vegas PBS also ensured that lessons specific to this special-

by tagging @vegaspbs on social media.
To encourage hands-on language arts continuity in the home, Vegas PBS also extended the
deadline of the VEGAS PBS KIDS Writers Contest Presented by Janice Allen to June 1, 2020.
The contest empowers children in grades K-5 to celebrate creativity and build literacy skills by
writing and illustrating their very own stories. Contest information and updates can be found
at vegaspbs.org/writers-contest.
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent school closures has magnified the Vegas PBS mis-

more evident in these critical educational services that are assisting with continuity of learning
at home during this difficult time.
