❤️🧹 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! 🎉

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.
