Molly Hasegawa is in her third year as a member of our middle school math team. We recently sat down with Molly to discuss a little bit about her love of math and the role community plays in her life and teaching practice, and to learn more about some work currently being done by our middle school math students.

At Nueva, we believe that EQ matters as much as IQ. To start the year, SEL and SOM teachers began the year with activities designed to build community and foster meaningful relationships among classmates.

Inspired by all the conversations she's had as equity and inclusion representative on student council, senior Fiona T. recently launched a new podcast, Identity Unraveled. 

On Tuesday morning, September 14, I was excited to find time to visit the Upper School and document a moment in time for the community. I came away from the morning in awe of our teachers and students.

Ask many Nueva students who have completed the sixth grade what a highlight of that year was for them, and you can expect to hear them talk about the Egg Drop in their physics class. Considered by some as a Nueva middle school science “rite of passage,” the Egg Drop is a culmination of weeks of learning, brainstorming, prototyping, iterating, and testing in which students apply Newton’s Laws of Motion.

We are excited to introduce our new justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) student support and programming coordinator for preK through sixth grade, B Garcia. 

Our new Photo Walk Series aims to provide the community with a snapshot in time—a celebration of work being done across grade levels, content areas, and divisions. This first Photo Walk took place on Wednesday, August 23, as students and teachers were settling into our first week back to school.

In the midst of the towering stacks of books in the Writing and Research Center (WRC), the new collection team has been hard at work evaluating the diversity of the collection.
