Let’s go 2022-2023! Each year I select a theme for our department. This year I am excited to bring you the year of #radicalcompassion
So proud to work in @nbtschools with the most talented team of teachers, therapists, instructional aides, and child study team members alongside supportive administrators!
This week is Special Education Week in NJ. We, in North Brunswick, value the diversity that all learners bring to our community, and are proud of the special education programs that we offer students ages 3 to 21! #truenorthbrunswick

“When confronted with the fallout of childhood trauma, why do some children adapt and overcome, while others bear lifelong scars that flatten their potential? A growing body of evidence points to one common answer: Every child who winds up doing well has had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive adult.” -Shonkoff
Exciting night of learning for our parent group as we discuss how to align student values with interests and expand activities!
So very proud of the elementary counselors @nbtschools for a successful Wellness Fair last night! Our students and families are so lucky to have you!
