STAR data in the hands of our students? Absolutely! I have always let students know their scores, as soon as they finish their tests, but this year I, along with my ELA colleagues at Unidos, have made a big shift in having students “own their data.”

In Napa Valley Unified School District, schools such as Snow Elementary, Redwood Middle, Napa High, and Vintage High are making waves with TeachTown's enCORE curriculum. This innovative program, made for students with moderate to severe disabilities, covers academic, behavioral, and adaptive skills. It's a holistic approach that's really working.

Many already know that NVUSD school board members hold board meetings twice per month or approximately 26 times a year. Board members also spend considerable time refining governance practices, carrying out the Superintendent evaluation process, and attending subcommittee meetings on finance, policy, and curriculum, to name a few. However, this is just the beginning of their work and commitment. Read more about the role our NVUSD’s Board plays in leading the Napa Valley Unified School District by scrolling down.
