TRANSITIONS FOR TWEENS AND TEENS

Schechter knows that transitions can be tough for tweens and teens. Through the Peer Educators and Peer Connectors programs, middle school students and 9th graders meet regularly with trained high school students to learn how to handle a host of hot-button issues affecting today鈥檚 kids, including social media, time management, peer pressure, school safety, and more. Meeting regularly with high school peers gives each student a 鈥渂ig brother鈥� and 鈥渂ig sister鈥� to rely on for support, guidance and friendship. Many of these relationships continue long after graduation.

MAKING HEALTHY DECISIONS

As students mature, they gain more independence in decision making. We guide our students through making healthy and wise decisions. To prepare them for the years ahead, all students in the Upper School take courses taught by our own faculty, covering topics of healthy living and smart choices. Not only do our students learn valuable information in these classes, they come to view their teachers as people who care about them and their well being.

A RANGE OF SERVICES

Students are provided with a range of services to meet their needs.

• IEP services are coordinated between 91影视 and the Mineola school district, with district staff providing all services on our campus.
• 504 plans are written by the home school district, with services and support provided by our trained faculty.
• There are times when students require a little extra help. In these cases, students, teachers or parents can meet with the Director of Pupil Services to determine a plan for addressing these needs. Support is available for General Studies, Hebrew, and Judaic Studies.

SCHOOL NURSE ON PREMISES

Our campus is staffed with a school nurse provided by the local school district. The nurse ensures all students are fully compliant with immunization requirements, creates allergy action plans, and administers prescription/over-the-counter medications when necessary. The nurse also conducts age-appropriate health screenings, prepares first-aid kits for class trips, and trains faculty in emergency Epipen administration. We are blessed to have a nurse with such a friendly and calm demeanor!
