Family Life
Parent Education
One way for parents to be supportive of Nova’s work is by building a home life which supports the values of hard work and scholarship. To that end Nova hosts periodic Parent Education Nights, sponsored by the Nova PTO (NPTO). These evenings are designed thematically around topics of interest to families relating to the business and joy of education at Nova.
The following Parent Education Nights are scheduled so far for 2010–11:
