About Ute V. Perkins

Ute V. Perkins is a small rural elementary school serving the Moapa community, including the Moapa River Indian Reservation. The school is not listed as a district elementary magnet.

The campus provides core elementary instruction in literacy, math, science and social studies. Specials, clubs, activities, family nights and community events may be offered, but families should confirm the current schedule.

How families get in

Admission is based on the home address assigned to the school’s attendance zone. Verify the exact address before registering.

Check the home address through the CCSD zoning lookup.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment if this is the assigned school.
Moapa, Glendale and reservation-area addresses may be assigned to different Moapa Valley schools.
Out-of-zone access, if offered, depends on current CCSD Choice rules and campus capacity.
Pre-K uses a separate CCSD interest and placement process rather than kindergarten registration.

Pre-K placement

Families complete the CCSD Pre-K interest form.
CCSD’s Early Childhood Department handles placement and may offer a seat at the zoned school when one is available.
Confirm whether a Pre-K classroom operates at this campus this year.

Zoning, capacity and program offerings can change. Transportation and out-of-zone placement are not guaranteed.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Ute V. Perkins or Moapa attendance zone and want the local elementary school.
Your family prefers a small rural school setting.
Your daily life is centered in Moapa or Moapa Valley rather than the Las Vegas metro.

Think twice when

You want a large elementary school with several classes per grade and a full specials rotation.
You live outside the zone and are relying on open enrollment.
You specifically want a district magnet pathway.

Confirm current class groupings, specials, transportation, zoning and program availability directly with the school and CCSD.
