Mr. Hall, Principal

New Brighton Area Elementary School
“Where Small Paws Make Big Impressions”

Welcome to New Brighton Elementary School, where we believe “small paws
make big impressions.” Our goal is to provide a strong foundation for education in
a safe, nurturing atmosphere where students are recognized as individuals.

We have a staff of highly qualified professionals who work together to
continuously build on early-learning concepts in order to provide students leaving
the elementary school with the academic skills to be successful in the middle
school and beyond.

In order to prepare students for the challenges ahead, we have expanded the
educational opportunities at New Brighton Elementary. Full-day kindergarten was
implemented in 2009-10, which offers our youngest students the opportunity for a
deeper understanding of the curriculum, involving more hands-on centers and the
extra time for specialized activities. We also have invested in a new reading series.
Treasures (click for link), published by McGraw-Hill, is a challenging series aligned to the
Pennsylvania academic standards; and as a teacher recently told me, “forces the
students to think critically about reading.” These initiatives, along with the
establishment of a new science lab, advances in technology, and the integration of
Study Island, an online program which provides skills practice, will help prepare
our students for the future.

Realizing education is a cooperative responsibility shared by the family and the
school, I invite you to visit the elementary school and communicate frequently
with your child’s teachers. Teachers are readily available by telephone and email.
My door is always open; I can be reached at extension 103 or by email at
jhall@nbsd.k12.pa.us.

We are honored to have the opportunity to share in the development of your child
during these formative years. Have a great school year.
