ReInvent Schools Las Vegas was launched by the city of Las Vegas in collaboration with the Clark County School District. The program utilizes the National Community Schools model in which public schools partner with families and community organizations to provide educational opportunities and supports for students’ school success. ReInvent Schools is committed to providing academic enrichment, expanded and extended learning opportunities, integrated student supports and family and community engagement.
The program currently serves 16 underserved elementary schools in the city. Selected schools had a two-star or lower rating, a 75 percent or higher free and reduced lunch rating and are located in the city of Las Vegas jurisdiction.
The program utilizes AmeriCorps members who assist with programming, including literacy tutoring, reduction of chronic absenteeism, and nutrition mentorship. View the ReInvent Schools overview document.

ReInvent After-School Program
The free ReInvent After-School Program is funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant, and offers students a broad array of support services and activities before and after school. The program is designed to reinforce and complement in-school curriculum through providing activities that promote student success.
Our office is still awaiting the result of our application for 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) grant funds, which would enable us to provide the ReInvent Before- and After-School Program (RAP) at no cost to families. As a result, online registration for the programs at the following schools has been postponed and will now open Tuesday, July 28, at 9 a.m.: Cambeiro, Detwiler, Hancock, Lunt, McWilliams, Pittman, Red Rock and Warren.
We understand how important it is to be able to plan for your family’s before- and after-school care and enrichment needs. Please be advised that if grant funding is not available before registration opens and/or we do not receive the grant award, the programs at the above locations will operate as standard city of Las Vegas fee-based Safekey programs with program rates as follows:
• Registration Fee: $25.00 per student (annually, per account)
• Morning Program: $7 per day
• Afternoon Program: $10 per day
