Families are expected to be much MORE engaged at New Village than in traditional high schools. Every student’s enrollment starts with a Family Home Visit by their Crew leader and another NVA staff member to get everyone acquainted.  Families will know their child’s Crew leader well and communicate regularly.  Parents are key members of their student’s Navigation Team, meeting four times a year hearing their student present their work portfolio, asking questions that challenge and support, and then helping them establish goals for the next quarter and for their future.  Family members are also expected to attend Celebrations of Learning and annual Gateway Ceremonies- where students present and celebrate their learning and growth
