Welcome to the Guidance Website!
At Newington, we have a tradition of helping our Dolphins become not only strong academic students, but also positive school citizens.
Our strong character education program is taught to our students through Lifelong Guidelines, Life Skills and The Leader in Me - The 7 Habits of Happy Kids.
Each week, we highlight a Life Skill and one of The Leader in Me 7 Habits.
