2020/2021 was an unusual year for Head Start of Northeastern Nevada (HSNN). Significant adjustments had to be made to comply with COVID-19 safety guidelines. HSNN had to restructure classrooms, timeframes, and overall enrollment to comply with guidelines suggesting no more than 10 children per class for Head Start classrooms. All HS classes at the Golf Street Center were full-time with 10 children each. The Silver Street Center hosted 3 full-time classrooms and 4 half-day classrooms in an effort to serve as many children as possible. It has historically been difficult to maintain enrollment in half-day classrooms due to conflicts with employment and transportation and this year was no exception. Early Head Start stayed at its full day at full enrollment due to already having a maximum of 10 in each classroom pre-COVID. Because of these unusual circumstances, this update to HSNN’s Community Assessment is heavily focused on the impact of COVID-19 and their response.
