Dear Teachers and Staff:

We are committed to making next school year a safe and positive learning experience for our students. To that end, parents, district employees, and students in grades 6-12 are asked to complete a quick survey to help the district fine tune how federal funding will be used to help sustain the safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Dear Teachers & Staff,

I want to echo the message John Abeigon, your NTU President, sent on Friday. He quoted Neil Gaiman who said, "I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world.

I hope you will remain curious and in doing so embrace that wide-awake living that Gaiman

Good Morning Teachers and Staff,

Maya Angelou in speaking about reading and books said, “When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.”

We are so excited to share this year's summer reading book lists. It is a terrific collection. As in the past, all students will receive a physical, not electronic, book. These books allow the reader opportunities to
