Teen: Tell Napa School District What You Want
"If there's any time to stand up for what you believe in, it's now," writes a Yountville freshman, inviting students and parents in the Napa Valley Unified School District to a dinner and conversation Tuesday night at Vintage High.

As a freshman at Vintage High School, I've heard kids with a lot of great ideas on how to improve the way our school district works, but no one ever knew who to talk to or what steps to take in order to make changes happen.
I had the honor of attending the first Napa Valley Unified School District Community Conversation on October 9th, and luckily, there is another incredible opportunity in your hands this Tuesday night.
Please join your fellow middle school/high school students and parents as we unite as neighbors and discuss what needs improvement and how to make it happen.
If there's any time to stand up for what you believe in, it's now.
This second community conversation will be held at Vintage High School (1375 Trower Ave.)
A complimentary feast of delicious Mexican food will be provided, as well as child care.
Focus groups will be held in both English and Spanish to ensure that every voice is heard.
Dinner begins at 5:30-6:30pm; discussion groups with child care run from 6:30pm – 9:00pm.
The general topics of discussion include:
- Preparing students for college and careers
- Encouraging parent involvement in schools
- Supporting a caring and attentive learning environment
This event is for ALL families in the NVUSD.
