WCSD welcomes Class of 2039 as students return to classrooms
Starting kindergarten means crying all day. And that's just the parents. "I'm wearing sunglasses because I'm in shambles," said Ashlee Durante, who dropped off son Levi for his first day of school Monday at Rita Cannan Elementary in Reno. Thousands of Washoe County School District students returned to classrooms for the start of the 2026-27 school year. The district expects about 59,000 students to be enrolled at more than 100 schools this year. Levi, 5, appeared braver than his mom on his first day, but he still wasn't entirely sure after being dropped off at the gates of his new playground. Quietly, he tried to walk back to his parents before an understanding teacher redirected him. While it was Levi's first day, he wasn't the only one experiencing a first. Superintendent Tiffany McMaster welcomed kindergarten students -- the Class of 2039 -- and walked many to their classrooms Monday. McMaster officially became the district's 15th superintendent in July, but Monday marked her first first day of school leading the district. It was also a first for students and staff at Stead Elementary School and Vaughn Middle School, both of which opened new buildings this year. For Stead Principal Ryan Doetch-Youngblood,
