Purple Star Schools
Mojave Springs School welcomes military-connected students. Having some military connections among faculty, administration, and support staff, the team at Mojave is acutely aware of the unique challenges faced by active-duty and veteran families. Supporting our military community members is essential, and we are proud to offer our assistance.
FAMILIES CAN EXPECT
Transition Team
A dedicated team comprised of teachers, administrators, and a student ambassador will work to aid in the transition to Mojave by introducing our new student and their family to the school community.
Registration and Enrollment Support
Tours of campus and early informational meetings can be conducted by a combination of virtual, telephonic, and in-person meetings to accommodate relocation challenges.
Recognition Events
The school hosts events throughout the school year recognizing military-connected students and their families. Examples include special appearances by active duty and veteran family members the week leading up to Veterans’ Day and Purple Up Spirit Week in April!
INTERSTATE COMPACT
The State of Nevada is a member of the Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3), which provides assistance in transitioning students and provides consistency for military affiliated students as they transfer between school districts and member states.
