Up to 95% of U.S. teenagers own a cell phone and kids receive about 500 notifications a day — many during school hours.
One New York school is taking part in the growing “no-phone” movement. A teacher there says it has been a game changer: “I saw kids’ faces again.”
How do we start our day at NFA West? The Circle of Power and Respect sets the stage for restorative practices through our Advisory Program! We are prepping for the learning through internship program, completing Naviance Career Assessments and checking in socially and emotionally

Sometimes, your authenticity will repel those who are living a performance. What can feel like rejection or defensiveness is actually them being triggered by what your presence has made them aware of about themselves. Don’t take it personally, and, don’t stay there.
Huge kudos and thank yous to @newburghschools for welcoming our cross country team with such class and grace today. Responding to our recent support for NFA, the team made us baked goods, posters and gave a speech thanking us!
Thank you Newburgh. We stand together!
Today during our Friday morning meeting, West students learned about @bp_living. We focused on “forming and maintaining relationships” through a large group pick me up activity that encouraged students to interact and learn more about each other! @bigpiclearning@newburghschools
