Dear Nueva Grandparents,
I am overjoyed to officially be at Nueva as its new head of school, and to experience firsthand this remarkable community's unwavering dedication to learning by doing and learning by caring.
We are completing our first months of the 2020-2021 school year, and, albeit beginning remotely, our exceptional faculty and staff continue to demonstrate their commitment to enable our gifted learners—your grandchildren—to make choices that benefit the world.

As we continue to plan for the very best Nueva experience for all of our learners, faculty, staff, and families, we are currently preparing to bring our students back to campus during the next few weeks. The well-being of our community remains our priority, and we have created a thorough health and safety plan to support us in our broader return to campus and in-person learning. Our learning models this year will inevitably continue to adjust to a constantly shifting landscape, and we confidently believe that we have the ability to bring students back to campus purposefully, safely, and joyfully. Details about each of these measures can be found in our Return to In-Person Learning Plan.
I look forward to sharing more about myself, our progress in returning to in-person learning, and providing updates about our Nueva community at our virtual Grandparents' and Special Friends' Day on Friday, November 20. I hope to see you there!
Best,
Lee Fertig
