  • Home New Beginnings Academy

    program overview it is the goal of the new beginnings academy (nba) to establish a creative and caring environment for students to successfully learn in a school setting. the fundamental philosophy of the nba program is that each student is a unique individual with unique personal, social, behavioral and educational needs. as a result, every disciplinary situation becomes unique in nature. consequences for misbehavior provide the best learning value when matched to the unique student and unique situation. the likelihood for children learning from their mistakes increases dramatically when children see a reasonable connection between their behavior and the resulting consequences.  the nba staff dedicates itself to following a set of core beliefs that provides a guide for dealing with student discipline. these core beliefs guide our attempts to individualize disciplinary procedures and to help students perceive reasonable connections between their behavior and the resulting consequences.   the core beliefs provide the guiding light for our professional decisions. the staff encourages parents and students to bring concerns and questions to us in the event that we operate in a manner that appears to be inconsistent with the core beliefs.  criteria for placement  the program will focus on students in grades six through eight who have violated the wesd student code of conduct agreement at their home school. students referred to new beginnings academy have been recommended for long-term suspension or expulsion.  students who are receiving special education services may be considered for referral to new beginnings academy, provided the iep team is in agreement with the placement. students in the program who are evaluated and found to be eligible for special education services may continue in the program as deemed appropriate by the iep team. faculty and staff the new beginnings academy
