🚀Attention Rockets🚀

On September 30th from 8am-9am we will be having a Cafecito to be going over some important school events and information!

We hope to see you there!💙🚀

❤️🧹 Today, we celebrate YOU! 🧹❤️

To our NUSD custodians: thank you for the care, pride, and heart you bring to our schools every single day.

You are often the first to arrive and the last to leave. You notice the little things, solve the unexpected problems, lend a helping hand, and make our schools feel like welcoming places for everyone.

Your work goes far beyond keeping our buildings clean. You help create spaces where our students can learn, our staff can thrive, and our school community can feel at home.

We are grateful for each of you and everything you do for NUSD. Thank you for being an essential part of our school family! 💛

Happy National Custodian Day! 🎉

Dear Challenger Parents and Guardians,

This is a friendly reminder that vehicles should not be parked and left unattended in the Challenger Elementary School parking lot during the school day. We need all available parking spaces for staff, visitors, and regular school business.

You are welcome to use our parking lot when attending school events, meetings, conferences, or other school-related activities. Please be advised that the district will not be liable for vehicles left unattended in the school parking lot when the vehicle owner is not on campus for school-related business.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our parking lot accessible for our Challenger community.

Estimados padres de familia y tutores de Challenger:

Este es un recordatorio amistoso de que los vehículos no deben dejarse estacionados y sin supervisión en el estacionamiento de la Escuela Primaria Challenger durante el día escolar. Necesitamos todos los espacios disponibles para el personal, visitantes y asuntos escolares.

Pueden utilizar nuestro estacionamiento cuando asistan a eventos escolares, reuniones, conferencias u otras actividades relacionadas con la escuela. Por favor, tengan en cuenta que el distrito no se hará responsable por vehículos que se dejen estacionados y sin supervisión cuando el propietario no se encuentre en la escuela por asuntos relacionados con la escuela.
