Novato Charter School

Novato Charter School will begin its 30th Anniversary year this Saturday with one of its longtime community traditions: Gratitude Day.
On Saturday, August 15, current families, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and founding community members will gather at the school’s C Street campus to help prepare for the new school year. Volunteers will pull weeds, plant flowers, clean classrooms, make small repairs, and care for the shared spaces students return to each year.
Gratitude Day has been part of the spirit of Novato Charter School for years. It reflects the same sense of community that helped build the school from the beginning: families and teachers showing up, working side by side, and caring for the place they share.
This year’s Gratitude Day also marks the beginning of a year-long celebration honoring 30 years since Novato Charter School first welcomed students in 1996.
The school’s charter was approved by the State of California in 1995, making it California’s 89th charter school. Today, Novato Charter School is a tuition-free public Waldorf K–8 school and was named a California Distinguished School in 2023.
Throughout the 2026–27 school year, NCS will continue the celebration with community stories, alumni reflections, articles, videos, and events centered around the people and traditions that have shaped the school over the past three decades.
Gratitude Day Details Date: Saturday, August 15, 2026 Time: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM Location: Novato Charter School, 940 C Street, Novato
Former students, families, faculty, staff, founding parents, grandparents, and longtime friends of the school are warmly invited to stop by, say hello, and help mark the beginning of this anniversary year.

The In’s and Outs of IEP’s
With Dr. Rebecca Hawley, Special Ed Law Advocate&amp; Child Development Specialist

This event is a must for parents of teens and young adults who have IEP’s (Individual Education Programs) or for those who are hoping to get one for their struggling child.

In conversation with Family Sanity Founder Lisa Scimens, Dr. Hawley will discuss: &nbsp;Is it ever too late to get an IEP?

How do I get a neuropsych evaluation?&nbsp; What if I can’t pay for it?
How do I get my school district to pay for a special school or a therapeutic program or an RTC?
Does my child’s IEP continue when they go to college?
What are my rights as a parent?

(This event will be recorded and can be replayed as a Family Sanity Podcast in the near future.)Tickets: www.familysanity.org

Come enjoy great music and a message of hope as we explore favorite Broadway musicals and deeper spiritual themes in our annual “God on Broadway” series.&nbsp; Shows in this year’s series are: "The Lion King” (August 2), “Man of La Mancha” (August 9), “The Music Man” (August 16), and “Maybe Happy Ending” (August 23).&nbsp; Our pianist/composer John Steiner and guest musicians will perform songs from each production.
Rev. Cynthia Cochran-Carney will explore meaningful and humorous connections between Broadway shows and biblical stories, saying “The arts inform all aspects of our lives, including our spiritual lives.Many of the musicals look at challenging social issues, including racism, poverty, exploitation, and diversity.&nbsp; In this time of polarization and division, the arts can open us up to see joys and challenges from someone else’s perspective.”
Sing, laugh and learn valuable life lessons with us in the sanctuary on Sundays in August at 9:30 am at First Presbyterian Church of San Rafael, 1510 Fifth Avenue.&nbsp; The building is handicap accessible.&nbsp; The services are live streamed on YouTube.
