The Nutley School District will observe the Week of Respect beginning Monday, October 7. In order to recognize the importance of character education, each school will provide age-appropriate instruction focusing on the prevention of harassment, intimidation, and bullying.
The elementary schools will facilitate lessons focused on kindness and respect. JHWMS students will attend an assembly presented by the Sandy Hook Promise organization, followed by an advisory, which will explore how to “Start with Hello." Also, in between each period throughout the week, songs with the theme of respect will be played. At Nutley High School, there will be announcements with motivational quotes that promote good character, diversity, respect and kindness. The CORE Ambassador Club and Student Council will host a"Chalk Walk" too.
