School Overview:
Stewart Manor School enjoys the distinction of a No Child Left Behind – Blue Ribbon School 2006. At Stewart Manor School, teachers help draw out the potential in every child by challenging each and every student on a daily basis regardless of their needs or level of functioning. Newcomers enter our school and comment on the welcoming atmosphere that exudes from staff and students. Studies show that people perform better when they are content and confidently nurtured. Stewart Manor students prove it! Situated at the crossroads of three villages, Stewart Manor School blends into its residential suburban community with its park like grounds. A school of approximately 410 students in the Elmont UFSD, Stewart Manor retains it country-like familiarity with all students from grades pre-kindergarten to sixth (general education, special education and English language learners), parents and staff forming an effective community of learners.
The school day at Stewart Manor begins long before the school bell rings, with students and teachers busy at work in early morning tutorials, band/orchestra or chorus practices, gymnastics or reading clubs. A talented professional staff educates students throughout the day with a challenging curriculum based on continually revised district curriculum mapping guides meant to adhere and exceed learning standards set forth by New York State. Stewart Manor offers opportunities for students to develop their skills in the arts with extensive music, art and physical education programs. A rich cultural arts program, sponsored by an active PTA, compliments classroom instruction and supports learning standards. Students end their day by participating in innovative after school clubs. With a foundation laid in a five day a week pre-kindergarten program solidified by a full day kindergarten routine, students pursue an integrated course of differentiated study that incorporates technology-based projects in the content areas.
Our mission at Stewart Manor is to create a safe, supportive, challenging environment for all students and staff. We seek to provide a well-rounded educational experience so that each child may meet their greatest potential and become a life long learner. By recognizing and valuing the home/school connection, we strive to build self-confidence, respect, responsibility and a sense of community.
