SUMMER SENDOFF
Last Day of School: Friday, May 24th
Today is the last day of the 2023-24 school year! Whether you’re hitting the road for a well-deserved vacation, or staying local; we want to wish you a restful summer. Here at NUSD, the learning doesn’t stop. Over the summer, students enrolled in our LEAP Academy, are prepared to engage in a variety of activities such as cooking, acting, and esports. We are also preparing high school students to enter the workforce by offering them training and workshops through “Youth Workforce”. And thanks to community partners, programs such as “Summer at City Hall”, “iVibe”, and “All Things Pretty” will engage students in the coming months.
Happy summer and see you back in class Thursday, August 8th for the 2024-25 school year!
