Dear NUSD Community,
I want to extend my deepest appreciation for the incredible effort that goes into preparing and delivering Back to School Night presentations. From our teachers and administrators to our support staff, so much hard work happens behind the scenes to make these events informative and welcoming. Meeting the dedicated staff who will be your partners as we navigate the educational systems together is essential to building a strong, collaborative community for our students. We have provided a list of Back to School Nights in this newsletter.
As we look ahead, we also want to address an important reality facing our district. This year, NUSD is navigating significant financial challenges. Ensuring the long-term strength and stability of our schools requires transparent communication and community involvement. Find out more about our current budget landscape by watching the updates provided by our Chief Financial Officer, Joshua Braff, at our Board meetings. Your input and partnership will be invaluable as we work through these decisions together.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our students and schools. I wish everyone a wonderful, restful, and happy Labor Day weekend with family and friends!
Warmly,
Dr. Tracy Smith
Superintendent, Novato Unified School District
