Teachers Learning Over the Summer ✏️📚
On August 12, 29 Boulevard Elementary teachers came together to dive into Restorative Justice and Conscious Discipline with Mrs. Michele Nare, School Family Facilitator from the Canajoharie School District. This is just one example of how our educators continue to grow, even in the summer, to make our school community stronger.
At Boulevard, we use discipline as a teaching opportunity—building accountability, empathy, and belonging in every classroom. Restorative Practices give voice to those harmed and create meaningful learning moments for those who caused harm, helping every student learn and succeed. 💙

It’s not just about grades — it’s about growth, connection, and confidence.
Missing just 2 days a month can quietly add up to a full year of lost learning by graduation.
