Heather Gohn will be the next principal of Paso Verde School. She was selected recently to replace founding principal Tonja Jarrell, who has accepted another position at the Natomas Unified School District Education Center.

As we expected and shared with you on Sunday evening, Sacramento County is now in the red tier, a less restrictive tier that allows secondary students (6-12) to return to in-person instruction.

We are getting one step closer to reopening for secondary grades (6-12). On Friday afternoon, we learned that Sacramento County may be moving into the red tier on Tuesday, March 16, the tier needed to be able to reopen for in-person instruction for middle and high school. If this holds, secondary in-person will start on Monday, March 22. We will know more on Tuesday.

Commencing with the 2021-22 school year, Natomas Unified will launch a K-12 Virtual Academy that will provide families with an innovative option for students to learn, thrive, and excel in a virtual environment.

In an effort to help slow down the spread of COVID-19 and to create a healthy Natomas, the Natomas Unified School District will begin administering COVID vaccinations with the support of the Sacramento County Public Health and Dr. Rusty Oshita, a physician with Urgent Care Now.

Natomas Unified School District is enrolling students now into Transitional Kindergarten through 12th grade for the 2021-22 school year. 

As students prepare for a transitional reopening and as a reminder when they return to campus, it’s important for them to know and understand the changes to their school and what they need to do to keep themselves and everyone around them safe and healthy. NUSD has compiled a series of videos and colorful graphics to help students understand how they can do their part to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Please take a few minutes to answer some questions that will help us move forward with our 18-month plan, as well as just check in with you on how things are going.
