Welcome to Newbridge Road Elementary School. Did you know that Newbridge celebrates its 80th birthday in the spring of 2004? Newbridge was one of the first buildings built in North Bellmore. In the early 1900's a one room school house stood on the site presently occupied by the fire department. When the school became overcrowded a new two room building was built on its present site. As more students enrolled a new building was necessary and in 1924 a new brick building was erected and later enlarged to accommodate the growing population.
Presently we house 430 students in full day kindergarten through grade six program. We believe that children can reach their potential with a positive learning environment filled with educational excellence and opportunities for hands on experimentation. We engage students in literacy activities in all grades using literature that is leveled and chosen especially for them. A new district wide initiative, Step Up to Writing, promotes student writing that supports multiple writing styles, language development, grammar, punctuation and the writing process. Our math adventures include manipulatives that challenge students to use their critical thinking skills. Our classrooms have computers that encourage students to extend their knowledge and competency in technology. All students receive art, music, library and physical education. Our winter and spring musical concerts provide an opportunity for our talented students to share their skills with the community.
At Newbridge we strive to engage students in good citizenship and character development. We have great school spirit and each month we hold school wide assemblies that focus on different character traits. Our school spirit soars as we sing the Newbridge Road school song and wear our student created blue and gold tee shirts. Our Newbridge family of students, teachers, parents and administrators take pride in our ability to work collaboratively to create the best educational environment for our children. |
