Upcoming Dates:

Nova Roots Spring Meeting, March 18 

Nova Roots meets twice a year, and the spring meeting will focus on planning for Staff Appreciation Week, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming school events. 

The meeting will be held via Zoom, with a possible opportunity to also meet in person.

Contact us at hello@novaroots.orgfor the Zoom link and with your questions!

Inclement weather / SNOW policy:

Nova’s Remote Learning Plan if Buildings are Closed due to Inclement Weather

Students will find links and lessons to work on posted on Moodle for each of their classes.  Classes will meet for the first 30 minutes on Zoom for a synchronous lesson followed by asynchronous work for the remainder of the class period. Committees will not meet but there will be a short check in time for coor every day for students who need tech or other support.

Volunteer Opportunity:

Nova Roots is looking for a Volunteer Treasurer & Fundraiser Lead to help support and celebrate our amazing school community. This role has a light, predictable time commitment—about four hours in the fall and a few hours spread throughout the rest of the year, mainly following events. The Treasurer & Fundraiser Lead manages donations for Nova Roots–sponsored events such as the Back to School Brunch and Staff Appreciation celebrations, processes reimbursements for event leads, and keeps clear, itemized records of contributions. You’ll also lead our annual fundraising effort by sharing donation requests through Nova Roots communication channels, sending friendly reminders, and thanking donors via Venmo or PayPal. If you’re organized, dependable, and enjoy helping meaningful events come to life behind the scenes, this is a wonderful way to make a big impact with a small time investment.

Please reach out to hello@novaroots.org. 

Parent Advocacy:

A few parents are exploring the issue of traffic safety on Cherry Street and revisiting the idea of lobbying for speed bumps in the school zone. If you are interested in joining the conversation please contact info@novaroots.org 

Donations Needed:

Donations to food pantry are most needed mid-week. Snacks, easy to eat light meals, and breakfast items are popular with the students. Drop off at the office.
