A “MODEL DUAL LANGUAGE” SCHOOL

Mission

The mission of West Ave. School is to Mentor, Educate, and Inspire our students to be academically, behaviorally, and socially successful.

Vision

It is West Avenue School’s vision to create a learning community where students achieve, succeed, and rise to challenges.

Student Activities

All programs and activities offered at West Avenue School support the district’s initiative in our quest for academic excellence. The following is a sampling of the activities in which our students are involved: Gifted and Talented Program, 21st Century, Literacy & Math Club, NJSLA Club, Minecraft Club, Art Club, Read Across America, Yearbook Club, STEM Club, Yoga Club, Learning Loss Academy, 24 Club, Good News Club, Olympic Day, and Field Day.

Assemblies and Board approved field trips enhance learning and provide students with real life experiences about the subjects they are studying. Sixth through eighth grade students can participate in intramural athletics. In addition to academic growth, students receive support for their social and emotional growth through individual, small group, classroom lessons and counseling sessions, which are coordinated through the guidance office.

Community Stakeholders

West Avenue School will work in partnership with parents, extended families, and community organizations as we embark upon the important job of educating the children of this community. Parents and guardians are encouraged to become frequent visitors to their children’s classrooms.
