Character Education
"We are proud students,
involved parents, committed educators and a caring staff. We are a warm
welcoming community offering a safe, nurturing and challenging environment. Our
children are comfortable growing, learning and celebrating differences with
consistency, honesty, responsibility, kindness and respect"
Character Education continues to be a very
important part of Bethpage School. Students are engaged in learning the
traits, and we continue to work to ensure that we all demonstrate the quality of
the traits on a daily basis.
The staff is committed to making sure that character education is infused
into the daily curriculum, introducing and reintroducing the character traits
and correlating poster statements, providing service learning to students in
grades K through five, working with and communicating with parents and
staff .
