NRCSD Behavior Center
The NR Behavior Center will officially open next week and serve students in grades K-12. The center is major part of the district's 2023-24 priorities to provide more specialized services that address what kids need, post-pandemic, to be ready to learn. Utilizing a unique blend of mental health and academic services through a fully integrated, individualized program in an actual physical space, kids will get the supports they need, while still keeping connected their school, teachers and academics.

Dual Language Program Expansion
The NR Dual Language Program’s enrichment will now be available in kindergartens in all our lower elementary schools as well as to first graders in West Haverstraw Elementary school. The class provides our students grades K-6 the opportunity to learn academic content (Math, Science, Social Studies and English) while also learning to speak, read and write at a high academic level in Spanish. Students follow the same curriculum as their peers in the English instruction classroom with equal time spent learning both languages. Enrolling kids in language school can cost upwards of $40,000. Through this important integrated model our learners are receiving an advanced educational experience for a fraction of the cost expertly implemented by skilled, experienced staff and Exec Director of K-6 Curriculum & ELL Services Miguelina Lopez. Our goal is to give as many students as possible the option to participate in the program and become bilingual, bicultural and thriving in terms of their academics.
