Normandy Schools Collaborative Superintendent Search
The search for the next superintendent of Normandy Schools Collaborative has begun, and now is your opportunity to participate.
The Joint Executive Governing Board is seeking community input in selecting the next superintendent for the district. Part of that process involves a community meeting for NSC parents, which will be held Thursday, October 13 at 5:30 p.m. at Lucas Crossing School Complex, located at 7837 Natural Bridge Road.
An online survey also allows you to indicate the most desired leadership qualities the new superintendent should have. The results of this survey will be used by the JEGB and consultants in seeking and screening applicants as well as for the development of the interview content. The survey will close at 5:00 p.m. on October 10.

Upcoming Listening Session Scheduled
In an effort to hear directly from families, Interim Superintendent Dr. Crystal Reiter is holding listening sessions. These will be very informal, and a light meal will be provided. All sessions will be held at the district's central office at 3855 Lucas and Hunt Road in either the board room or room 207.
- October 6- 8 a.m. in Room 207
- November 3- 8 a.m. in Room 207
- November 16- 5:30 p.m. in the Board Room
- December 8- 8 a.m. in Room 207
We will work to keep these meetings small in an effort to have meaningful conversations and schedule more of these meetings throughout the school year.
Please RSVP to Ms. Lori Thompson if you would like to attend.

Normandy Nurses' News
There are lots of things happening in October and the months ahead. Before we get too busy with all the hustle and bustle, let us be mindful of our overall health as we approach these fall months.
October is the month of Breast Cancer Awareness. In the United States, Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of death in women, and it can also affect males too. Please know that women of all ages are at risk.
October is also a good time to be vaccinated against the flu. However, vaccination can be given in November and later because flu most commonly peaks in February and can continue into May.
October is also the month of Halloween, Fall Festivals, and Pumpkin Picking, etc. Staff and students will be going on lots of field trips to different events. Please stay safe and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
