NVUSD continues to invest in building strong systems to support learning and achievement. This is critical for establishing Ecosystems of Cariño. We must have both safe environments and high expectations for learning and achievement. To have both, we need strong systems that provide our students support as they strive for success. To support staff in this work we are engaging in Learning Sprints--a method of continuous improvement cycles.

Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Napa Valley, NVUSD (Napa Valley Unified School District) schools are sowing the seeds of compassion and creating thriving ecosystems of "Cariño" — a Spanish term for love, care, and kindness. Central to this journey is the heartwarming partnership between NVUSD and the Horn Heart Foundation, demonstrating how local organizations can profoundly impact education and community development.

Napa, CA: We are pleased to share that the Napa Valley Unified School District Board of Education has authorized dismissal of the City of American Canyon from the District’s responsive cross-complaint in the recent lawsuit of American Canyon I, LLC vs. Napa Valley Unified School District (Napa County Superior Court case number 22-CV-001145).  The decision was prompted by recent actions of the City, which have adequately addressed the District’s concerns. This result positively impacts the educational experience of current and future American Canyon students by providing the funds mandated by California law to support safe facilities. We remain committed to the communities and the children we serve and are thankful that no further litigation with American Canyon I, LLC, Pacific West Communities, or the City of American Canyon is anticipated at this time.
