It’s that time of year again, when we get the opportunity to show our amazing Nixon staff just how much we appreciate all their effort and hard work throughout the year! We’ll be celebrating the week with student activities, in addition to PTA sponsored events!
FridayFolderFlyerPlease join the Nixon community in celebrating Earth Week by walking, rolling, carpooling, or busing to school on Wednesday, April 24. Use this opportunity to kick start a new routine that includes healthy commuting alternatives like walking, bicycling, riding the bus, or carpooling. Share your walk or ride to school with a neighbor or carpool if you live too far away. Riding the bus is a green way to get to school too! For information on safe routes to school and road safety tips, please go to: www.cityofpaloalto.org/saferoutes. If you need to drive, please don’t idle – turn off your engine at school.
Friday, April 12th (8:15 – 9 AM)
Do you have a child with an IEP or 504 or a child that needs a bit of extra help? Do you have questions about your child’s transition from elementary school to middle school? Join us for morning coffee on April 12th!
All families are welcomed to attend! We hope you’ll join us, whether you just have a question or have a child currently receiving support.

Bring the whole family for an evening of fun and learning at a one of a kind Nixon event: Information Science & Engineering Night!
After 10 weeks of studying communication, measurement, and representation of “information”, Stanford students from the Information Theory Class, taught by Nixon parent Dr. Tsachy Weismann, will share their findings with the Nixon community through interactive games, performances, activities and more! Come to explore the beauty and utility of information science and engineering, in a way that is fun for the entire family.
Event info: Saturday, March 16th 5:30-7:30PM at Nixon
