Katie von Husen is the new Coordinator, Intervention Programs at NUSD and wants to hear directly from parents about their concerns and questions about their students’ social/emotional well-being and feelings of safety at school.  She will be holding two listening sessions at the high schools for parents from all schools to participate.  These dates and times are:

September 4, 2019,  6-8 pm, Novato High School Library

This year NUSD expanded the previous role of Prevention Coordinator to Coordinator, Intervention Programs to focus on the social and emotional learning of our students and to increase our ability to nurture and support our children’s emotional health and social connectivity.  Katie’s position is funded by the Peter E. Haas Jr. Family Fund and she will be leading this comprehensive effort.

The format for these evenings are flexible and will adjust to the needs of the parents in attendance. Please feel free to attend for the full 2 hours or drop in as your schedule allows.

Spanish interpretation, food and childcare will be provided.
