All school sites will be open at usual hours on Thursday, January 16th. The City of Needles has made repairs so all sites will have water. The Lillyhill Bridge will have sidewalks open but still no cars may drive across it. Needles CDS will return to their school site at Katie Hohstadt as well as Needles Head Start and Preschool will be open their regular hours.
Thank you to the City of Needles for your prompt response to this community issue! Thank you to all Needles USD staff for the safe care of our students!

In order to ensure the safety of students, staff and parents, Katie Hohstadt School, that houses our Head Start Preschool programs, will be closed today, Thursday, January 15, 2020 due to a major water main break and required repairs. The City of Needles has been working on this situation and will have the repairs completed as soon as possible. Please call the District Office at 760.326.3891 with any questions.

Newly appointed Trustees Sheridan Silversmith (Area 3 Chemehuevi/Big River) and Lana Walters (Area 2 City of Needles) were approved and seated during last night's special board meeting. Board President Christina Cameron-Otero delivered the oath of office following an interview process and provisional appointment. Both Trustees are graduates of Needles High School. Trustee Silversmith has students at Chemehuevi Valley ES and Trustee Walters will have a daughter who will attend our schools in the future. In order to conduct the interview process with less than a quorum of our own NUSD Trustees on the Board, San Bernardino County Board President Hardy Brown II and SB County Board member Ken Larson were sworn in at the start of the meeting, provided their input, and then resigned once the Trustees Silversmith and Walters were appointed. The Needles Unified SD looks forward to welcoming and working with our newest Trustees!
