The school board and faculty have placed student safety as a top priority. Any hazard or potential hazard is promptly repaired. Nelson Avenue School is in a continuing process of upgrading our current facilities. Nelson Avenue School strives to offer students a clean, well-maintained, and secure and safe place for learning. Classroom Discipline and Climate for Learning A school-wide positive environment program designed to promote a high level of student responsibility is based on student knowledge of school rules and the consequence of both positive and disruptive behavior.
Teachers offer many forms of positive reinforcement to groups and individual students.
School pride is the focus of our students and staff. During the 1997-98 school year, Nelson Avenue School suspended 97 students for 189 incidents. We had no expulsions in 1997-98. Student Attendance State law requires that each School Accountability Report Card include the percentage of student attendance days claimed by the school during the 1996-97 school year. During the 1997-1998 school year, there were 173 instructional days at Nelson Avenue School.
