Special Conferences:
Washington Academy hosted a special conference on Anti-Bullying on-campus in October. The conference focused on helping school districts identify bullying incidences, the participants and also important vocabulary. The most important take-away from the conference was that information and data must be collected to better understand location and time of bullying within our schools. For more information about Anti-Bullying please email us: Anti-Bullying Mailbox.
Specialized Anti-Bullying Program
Washington Academy also unveiled its own specialized Anti-Bullying program called "Bully Stoppers." It is based in our PBS model, but its name comes from one of our own students, who wanted to create a positive and nurturing environment in the school. Washington Academy hopes that it can help decrease the incidences of bullying in every school in NJ, so if you want more information about how our program works, contact us: Anti-Bullying Mailbox.
Positive Behavior Highlights:
Washington Academy students are always on the path toward earning incentives that reinforce positive behavior. This month we installed a new Wii game system, which the students can use during their PE/Fitness class. The Wii system allows students to continue to stay fit by playing interactively with the game system.
In November, students will be going to the movies - to see the latest blockbuster. And also there will be a school-wide surprise function.
As always students who earn the most points during the year are eligible for the Environmental Studies trip, an overnight at a camp site. Photo Gallery.
