School Notes Overview:

The Student/Teacher Advisory System provides students at BFA with better academic, social and personal connections during the course of their four years at BFA. The STAS program will ensure that each student at BFA has an adult faculty member to advise them in the course of their education at BFA. The STAS program consists of regularly scheduled meetings and is designed to meet the needs of all students at each developmental stage in their academic career at BFA. Bellows Free Academy has a continuum of supports and services available for students on Individual Educational Plans, students identified in need of accommodations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and students who were previously supported through Title I or building-based Educational Support Systems/Teams. If you continue to qualify for any of the above and are not receiving any services, contact the Director of Support Services. If you have not received any of the above in the past but believe that your academic or social needs are not being met, contact your guidance counselor to review options or to request an Educational Support Team meeting. The Basic Philosophy behind our approach to student programming continues to center on the student as an individual with his or her own interests, needs, abilities, and desires given special consideration. The tailoring of such individualized programs necessitates close cooperation among students, teachers, parents, and guidance personnel. The mission of Bellows Free Academy is to foster the intellectual and personal development of all students. We will assist every student in developing the planning skills and strategies necessary to succeed in the educational, civic, economic, and social pathways of their lives....
