Dear Nixon School Families,

The 2010-2011 school year promises to be an exciting and enriching school year for all. One of the most important components of an excellent school is the partnership between the educators and the parents. The staff at Nixon values the partnerships that we develop with our parents and community.  It is through this united effort that we provide our students with an exceptional educational experience. 

The outstanding teachers at Patricia Nixon continue to raise the academic bar for all of our students and our students rise to the challenge. We are proud to boast that our school earned an API score of 879 for the 2009-2010 school year. 

In addition to a rich and rigorous comprehensive academic program, we at Patricia Nixon Elementary School are proud to offer many enrichment opportunities through the efforts and dedication of the entire school community.
