Needles USD and the River Consortium will offer another series of parent workshops starting Wednesday, March 23rd at 6:00 pm on zoom.
Topics are essential for parents to better understand their children, the school process and ways to provide support.

The series starts with "3 Tips to Reduce Stress and Anxiety for Busy Families" presented by Karrie Brazaski, an advocate for emotional well-being. As a nurse of three-decades and a mom, she has seen stress, anxiety and burnout destroy professions, relationships, confidence and an individual’s self-worth. After severely burning out and leaving her corporate healthcare position due to a lack of support and resources, Karrie has made it her mission to help others prioritize wellbeing, especially for today’s youth. JOIN US ONLINE AT tiny.cc/parents760 or using the zoom information on the flyer.

The Governor of California has updated the state's mask mandate to end on March 11th at 11:59 pm. Therefore, starting on March 12th, students and staff will no longer be required to wear masks. The State still strongly recommends the use of masks and the District will continue to supply masks to anyone choosing to wear a mask.

Needles USD has had to rearrange and cancel bus routes due to a shortage of staff as drivers are out ill with COVID-19. We understand this is a great inconvenience but please understand that we will resume routes as soon as drivers return to work.
