Dear Nova Parents, Welcome to the school year 2021-2022! I am thrilled to open our school doors to bring our students physically to our campus. This past year and a half was very difficult for all of us. Families, teachers, and students were somehow impacted by the pandemic, and despite all the obstacles we made it through, showed that with perseverance, resiliency, flexibility, and optimism we can accomplish anything we choose. Together as a team, we will clear all the obstacles that we encounter in order to provide our students with the best learning experience possible. Remember that strong parental engagement is the key to students' success.

This year, we will pay special attention to the social-emotional learning of our students and focus on the Positive Behavior Intervention Plan to support our students' behavioral needs. At the same time, we will continue to provide academic excellence to prepare our students to climb the High School and College educational ladder.

Due to the pandemic, some of our routines and procedures may be modified to ensure the safety of our students. I assure you, we will follow any guidelines that the district gives us with respect to the safety and security of our students and staff. We will continue the use of technology, including iPads for all students, to enhance the teachers' strategies in the classroom to maximize academic achievement.

I am looking forward to seeing all students back on campus on August 18, 2021, for the new year. Thank you for being part of the Nova family and remember we are Nova Titans, and At Nova We Do the Right Thing!!

Your Proud Principal,

Rayner Garranchan, "Mr. G"
