This is a copy of the letter that was sent to the NVUSD Board on April 6. As a pediatric optometrist serving the children in Napa Valley for the past 15 years, I would like to give my input to the Middle School Redesign Task Force. I have visited and supported many NVUSD schools as part of an IEP/504 team, school events, and fundraisers. One of the best parts of my job is getting to see these Napa Valley children grow over the years and become independent adults in the working world. I have seen the success of NVUSDâs variety of curriculums to accommodate for the diverse learning styles of children such as: the dual immersion program at Napa Valley Language Academy continued through Harvest Middle School and Napa High School, Salvador to the now combined Willow Elementary, River Middle School, Stonebridge School and New Tech High School. These valuable school programs must be maintained, strengthened and expanded to continue the success of NVUSD.
