October 2011 School Plus Breakfast Equals Students Ready to LearnSchool nurses are frontline witnesses of the importance of that first meal of the day. Often students end up in the nurse's office with complaints as a result of skipping breakfast. ACNJ just kicked off its Food for Thought: Expanding School Breakfast to NJ Students campaign. We released a report highlighting low participation rates, identifying schools with high need and low participation and outlining do-able solutions. ACNJ has published data for every district in the state.
Find out how your district rates. Learn how you can promote school breakfast in your school. Beware of Smartphone Privacy Risks on Child SafetyTo protect our kids we teach them never to provide their address or phone number to strangers or people they meet online, but kids and even parents may be supplying that information without even knowing it. State Strenghtens its Commitment to Reduce Bullying in SchoolsNew Jersey's tough new Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights went into effect Sept. 1 and strengthens the state’s first anti-bullying law, enacted in 2002. To comply with the new law, training will be required for most public school teachers, administrators and other employees on how to spot and respond to bullying. All districts must also form a "school safety team" to review complaints. School districts will be graded by the state on their efforts to address the problem.
