Character Education Program – Medal of Honor!

Gateway School is proud to introduce a new Character Education Program called MEDAL OF HONOR, coordinated by Supervisor of Instruction, Mr. Kevin Jones.

There are 6 pillars that are taught to students: Courage, Commitment, Integrity, Sacrifice, Citizenship, and Patriotism. Each month the school community will focus on a particular character trait to encourage building on these pillars. In September our trait was COMMITMENT – following through! In October our trait was RESPECT – for ourselves and others! For November, the focus will be on CITIZENSHIP. Teachers have access to lots of resources/education plans to help teach and encourage students in each trait.

The program is flexible and is adapted to each student’s/classes abilities. Programs like this enhance Gateway’s commitment to developing social/emotional skills in all our students.

Each month our teachers are working hard to be creative and interactive to help develop the important skills and traits all students need. For more information:

Students with the most educational or behavioral challenges, who appear as if they would never adjust to school anywhere, “fit in” and flourish at Gateway School. The staff is attentive and caring about their students’ needs. Case Manager, Newark Public Schools Jack Rifkin

Gateway School is the extension of our family. The teachers, therapists and staff are the most caring, most loving group of professionals we have had the honor of knowing. Because of the Gateway family, my son now has a chance at a sense of normalcy that he may not have had. The professionals at Gateway are mission-oriented… and the mission is the children. T.Davis The Gateway School Parent

My Joshua has improved so much with his social skills since attending Gateway School. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that his academics are being met; and that he is making friends in a supportive, caring environment. I would encourage any parent to be assured if and when their child is in these capable hands. S.Lucas The Gateway School Parent
