Teacher Appreciation Week May 3rd- May 7th

The week of May 3rd – May 7th is Teacher Appreciation Week. NUSD VLA teachers have adapted their practices to best meet the needs of our students in a remote setting. Teachers play a critical role in educating and shaping our children. They are kind, patient, hard- working, dedicated, and understanding professionals that mold our children’s lives in a positive direction. This annual, week-long celebration recognizes the consistently high level of work performed by the District’s certificated staff. I encourage students and families to share their appreciation of the teachers in their lives during this week!
