Student Achievement

The Student Achievement Team (SAT) is a cornerstone of our commitment to ensuring that every student receives personalized and effective educational support. This initiative exemplifies our dedication to academic excellence and student success.

The SAT’s primary purpose is to support and enrich every student in the school, meeting their unique needs and empowering them to achieve their goals. Our team is composed of the Student Achievement Team Coordinator (Mrs. Leslie Pesis), our School Counselor (Mrs. Alexandra Newman), and a fully staffed team, including specialists who bring expertise in individualized instruction. The SAT works hand-in-hand with classroom teachers to design and implement instructional plans that are informed by each student’s unique learning profile.

The SAT employs a variety of strategies to tailor learning experiences: Individualized Support, Enrichment Opportunities for Every Learner, Assessment and Data-Driven Instruction, and Collaborative Planning. 

By meeting students where they are and encouraging them to reach higher, we aim to cultivate a love of learning and a path to success for every child.

Life Skills & Wellness Program

Our emphasis on student wellness stems from our belief that education should nurture and empower the whole person. With everything from educational seminars to dedicated divisional counselors to academic resource centers to serving healthy food, we make sure that all students are equipped with the coping skills and practical resources they need to thrive.

Success through Academic Achievement

We don’t teach to the test: We use the data received from the test to help guide students to be better prepared as writers and readers. We do this authentically so as to not constrain their learning and application to one context or situation, especially not to an assessment. Elements of the ERB and other evaluations glean light on specific growth areas and it’s our job to help mold and challenge.

Our School Counseling Program

Our School Counselor supports the school community by developing and integrating a comprehensive guidance program that assists students in academic, career, and personal/social programs. This allows children to develop a positive sense of self and become effective students, responsible citizens, and lifelong learners.

BYDS is a place…
Where curiosity rules. Where children learn to honor timeless traditions and think for themselves. Where they are encouraged to ask bold questions, confront paradox and discover new connections. Welcome to a place that links heritage and history and students yearn to engage the world.

My favorite subject is Judaic Studies. Look – I’ve got friends at every school around this area, but the way we do Judaics makes Beth Yeshurun perfect for me.
