Important Office Communication Reminders
Please remember to communicate the following with the office:
Student Absences:
If your child will be absent, please call the office by 8:00 AM. If we do not receive a call, your child will be marked unexcused, and you will receive a text and/or phone call regarding the absence.
End-of-Day Pick-Up Changes:
All changes to your child’s end-of-day transportation or pick-up plans need to be communicated to the office by 3:30 PM. Our office becomes very busy at the end of the school day, so having this information early helps us make sure dismissal goes smoothly and safely.
Is it Bullying?
As we enter a new school year with new friendships and interactions happening daily, it is important to help your child distinguish between mean moments, conflict, and bullying. Proactively discuss appropriate responses with your child about experiencing or witnessing bullying to help them know how to navigate the situations.
What is bullying?
- Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior that is used to harm or control another child. This behavior occurs repeatedly and involves a real or perceived power imbalance between the bully and the victim.
- Bullying may be physical (hitting, pushing), verbal (name-calling, teasing), social (spreading rumors, exclusion), or cyberbullying (online harassment).
- It is important to distinguish between an occasional mean moment, rudeness, or conflict between children, and bullying.
Being proactive
You can empower your child by proactively discussing bullying, helping them recognize the signs of bullying, and understanding how to respond if they witness or experience it. Emphasize the importance of reporting bullying to adults, safely removing themselves from harmful situations when possible, and being an upstander—a person who supports and stands up for victims of bullying. Your child’s teacher should always be the first point of contact.
