Nampa Online Virtual Academy

Over the next month, we’d like to introduce and reintroduce our staff! We are so lucky to have some of the best educators and staff around! First up, some of the people you may not see everyday, but that make our school so special!

Miss. Wendy- you all know her as the friendly face in the office and the kind voice on the phone. We know her as the glue that holds us all together!
Mrs. Oliver- our very own cheerleader and advocate for English Language Learners!
Dr. Heindl- brand new to our NOVA special education department. We are so glad to have her!
Mrs. Myers- secondary special education, motivator for hard things, and celebrator of all student successes!

Explorers, we can’t wait to see you Monday! Until then, drop a comment if you’ve gotten to work with these ladies!

Explorers! It’s almost time and we can’t wait to see you! Don’t forget teachers will be at the Greenhurst building from 5-7 pm Wednesday (8/5) to meet and answer any questions. School pictures will also be done at this time!

If you haven’t done so in the past week or so, please run all updates and restart your devices! This is the best way to help the first day of school go smoothly, and gives you a few days to call the help desk if something doesn’t appear to be working properly.

A few teachers have created supply lists for you. Check them out in the images above!

See you soon, NOVA!

It’s almost time Explorers! Come meet your teachers for the upcoming school year!!

A HUGE Thank You goes out to Karie Anne's Nampa South for the generous donation of GELATI to our PBIS store! This year, students can use their points to purchase a small or jr size gelati!

If you’ve never been to Karieanne’s, you are missing out! They serve the yummiest ice and custard desserts! Look for the yellow food truck on 12th, south of Greenhurst!

Do you have or know a business that would like to support our students with a donation to our PBIS store? Send us a DM! We are looking for new and exciting prizes to reward students with!

Explorers! It’s just about time to dust off those computers and get ready to start school! Please take a moment to fully charge your devices and run all updates!

Stay tuned for more back to school updates!

Some of you may have heard, but our fearless leader, Mr. Hillman, is retiring! Mr. Hillman began NOVA in 2020 and has led this unique program since! We are sure going to miss his leadership!
What are your favorite memories of Mr. Hillman? Share your kind words for him below!

Happy retirement, Mr. Hillman!

Well look at you, Explorers! Out of 42,000 schools and districts, NOVA was one of 15 recognized as a 2025-2026 School of Excellence for our use of Imagine Math Facts®! So proud of our learners at NOVA!

Calling all JUNIORS! It’s time to start preparing for your senior year! Take advantage of this great opportunity THIS THURSDAY!

It’s almost time for our annual Spring Carnival! We have new booths and fun planned! See you there!

Can you find our very own Mr. Hillman?

Today we’re celebrating the incredible leaders who keep our schools running strong, our principals and vice principals! From early mornings to late evenings, hallway high-fives to tough decisions, they do it all for students, staff, and families every single day.

In their honor, we even took the day off school…
(okay, okay it *is* a 4-day school week, but we’re still giving them the credit 😉)

Take a look at our cartoon tribute and see if you can guess which classic comic character best matches your school’s admin. We used the photos we had available and had a little fun with it!

Drop your guesses in the comments and help us celebrate the amazing leadership across the Nampa School District. Thank you for everything you do! 🍎⭐
