NCSD Families,

Yesterday was a historic day for our school district. Thanks to the support of all of you and the Novi community, NCSD passed our 2025 Bond program! This will bring world-class facilities and opportunities to our children and help us continue our positive momentum. Thank you to each of you who helped provide feedback, talk about it with your neighbors, stay informed and ask great questions, and every little thing that was done to support this bond passage. We are truly blessed to be part of a community that is united in a vision of educational excellence, and we cannot thank you enough for all that you have done! 

Our construction and design partners, our staff, and our leadership team are excited and ready to get to work. As a school district, we want to bring you in and help you be part of this exciting program, so we will keep you well informed as things get started and we begin executing the plan. Again, we want to thank you with the most sincere gratitude, and we look forward to the exciting things to come!

Sincerely,

Ben Mainka, Superintendent
Novi Community School District

When students are not at work sites they are working in house on job skills and participating in preparing for our micro business opportunities throughout the year.

Some of the businesses NATC stufdentds work at during the week include:

• Macy's
• Emagine Theater
• Novi Civic Center
• Novi Public Library
• Novi Public Library Cafe
• Henry Ford Providence Hospital
• St. James Church
• Novi High School Cafeteria.

When students are not at work sites they are back working in house on job skills and participating in preparing for our micro business opportunities throughout the year.

Novi Adult Transition Center students have the opportunity to participate in the "Novi 4 All" Mobile Mart microbusiness.

Through this experience, students practice key skills such as greeting customers, answering questions about products, handling money, and managing conversations.

By engaging in sales, they gain valuable customer service experience, which emphasizes effective communication.

Additionally, students contribute to the microbusiness by assisting in the creation of products, further developing their teamwork and entrepreneurial skills. 

Novi Adult Transition Center work on life skill and communication skills in "the apartment" classroom at the ROAR Center.

They work as a team to cook, baking cookies and cakes, as well as hot dogs, fries, nachos and personal pizzas.

Students begin with a lesson about the process for completing various tasks, before they practice communicating with each other about what they need in the kitchen.

Students, parents, NCSD staff and SEPAC partnered together for another successful Sensory Friendly Winter Wonderland event in mid-November.The free event, sponsored by Tuscan Cafe, allowed families to sign up to spend quality time with Santa and Mrs. Claus in a sensory friendly space.
