Walter

Walter did an outstanding job during his 4th grade SEL lesson about bullying! He shared thoughtful answers about recognizing bullying and the importance of standing up for others. Walter listened carefully, participated appropriately, and encouraged his classmates to be upstanders instead of bystanders. What a great example of leadership and kindness! Way to go, Walter!

ATTENDANCE MATTERS

Regular school attendance plays a key role in your child’s success. Each day in the classroom provides valuable learning opportunities, builds routines, and helps students stay connected with their teachers and peers. Missing even a few days can make it harder for students to keep up. We appreciate your support in helping your child attend school consistently and arrive on time each day!

NLCS ANONYMOUS BULLYING REPORT

Bullying fosters a climate of fear and disrespect that can seriously impair the physical and psychological health of its victims and create conditions that negatively affect learning. Bullying includes unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. The imbalance of power involves the use of physical strength or popularity to access embarrassing information to control or harm others. Bullying can occur anywhere (in school or outside of school) and at any time both during and after school hours


This form is for reporting bullying, harassment, or other concerning behavior involving students. You may complete this form anonymously, or you may choose to provide your name and contact information for follow-up.

Please provide as much detail as you can including:

  • What happened
  • Where and when it occurred
  • Who was involved and/or affected
You do not need to know all the details to submit a report -- partial information is still helpful.


All reports are reviewed by school staff and will be handled according to school policy. While anonymous reports are accepted, providing your contact information may help us investigate more thoroughly.


This form is intended for non-emergency situations. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or tell a trusted adult or school official right away.

Please use this form responsibly. It is designed to help keep students safe and supported.
