                                                                                   Our Goals

To achieve our collective vision, the Newark Board of Education (NBOE) works hand in hand with Speedway, families, and community partners through six collaborative goals:

  1. Provide an inclusive and nurturing learning environment where all students feel a sense of belonging.

  2. Teach students to identify and self-regulate their emotions in healthy ways.

  3. Equip students with coping strategies to manage anxiety and low-mood episodes.

  4. Build awareness of the importance of mental health and overall well-being.

  5. Ensure students receive timely, evidence-based prevention and intervention supports through a multi-tiered schoolwide system (SST, CST, I&RS).

  6. Offer students and families access to comprehensive educational supports and community resources at both micro and macro levels.
