This letter is especially for parents with children attending Napa Valley Unified School District (NVUSD) schools. NVUSD will hold a community forum for parents and teens on Tuesday, October 9th, from 5:30pm – 9:00pm at Napa High School. Whether our children are kindergarteners, or in 7th or 10th grade, whether we live in American Canyon, Yountville, or Napa, at this community conversation our voices will be heard.
I am a parent on the Sponsoring Committee for this forum and my husband and I and one of our teens will attend it.
