Hello Desert Skies Family,

My name is Rebecca, and I am the School Social Worker here at Desert Skies. This is my first year here and I am excited to work with the students and get to know our families. As a school social worker, I am here to help address barriers that exist which prohibit academic success. I can also help with referrals and linkage to community resources. My main goal this school year will be to help our students and families who may struggle with attendance.

You can reach me by calling 775-674-4915 x 46101 or my direct line 775-327-1507  during normal school business hours or through email. rebecca.pairis@washoeschools.net  I look forward to meeting you!

Find out how we will fulfill our promise to know every student by name, strength and need so they graduate prepared for the future they choose in partnership with our families and community by reading about the initiatives in our strategic plan
