The New Buddy Bench at NES

Not sure what to do at recess?  NES introduced the new Buddy Bench on the playground.  The bench is labeled and is a safe spot for students to go when they are having a hard time finding someone to play with.  At our first all school meeting, Ms. Yando and Ms. Pasquarello acted out some scenarios where a child might feel left out or too shy to join in with his/her classmates at recess.  NES students are encouraged to notice if someone is sitting on the Buddy Bench and ask them to join them in a recess activity.  

Welcome Back!

We are off to a wonderful start!  The students came back to NES on Tuesday and have adjusted well to the new school year.  They are reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.  They are already hard a work!  We look forward to an exciting year!

NES Students Welcome New Classmates

New students to NES were welcomed to the school community by receiving a tour by current students.  Students were able to walk the halls, ask questions and look into classrooms to help get ready for the first day of school.  We are looking forward to a wonderful year!
