During the months of January and February, the Live Wise Live Healthy focus will be on healthy relationships. All students will receive reminders about what to do if they think that they are being bullied, and how to report this to their teachers, counselors, or other trusted adults at school and at home. Posters will be hung up in the restrooms (secondary) and in/near the restrooms at elementary with information about healthy relationships and friendships.
Elementary students will participate in counselor- led lessons about friendship, kindness and empathy, and peer-pressure refusal skills (5th/6th).Secondary students will participate in bullying prevention lessons during their advisory period.
Relationship care is an essential part of daily life. RISD values healthy relationships
and the positive outcomes healthy relationships produce for all. January and February will concentrate on helping students, staff and community understand the value of healthy relationships.
During the week of February 9th-13th, students will participate in Kindness Week activities. Campuses will send out campus-specific information about Kindness Week on their campus.

We’re Excited to Welcome Lunch Visitors!
Here are a few reminders to help make your visit smooth and enjoyable:
One visit per week, please. This helps us manage space and make sure every family has the opportunity to visit.
Arrive on time. Plan to be here before your child’s lunch period begins.
Bring your photo ID. All visitors must check in at the front office and wear a visitor badge while on campus.
Enjoy lunch at the visitor table. For safety reasons, visitors should sit at the designated visitor table with their child only. Parents may not sit in the cafeteria.
Friends can’t join your table. We know kids love company, but we ask that you enjoy this time just with your child.
Put phones away. To protect student privacy and keep the focus on your child, please avoid phone use, photos, or videos while in the cafeteria.
Head out after lunch. When your child’s lunch period ends, please exit through the front office. Visitors may not walk students back to class.
Permission for guests. If someone other than a parent/guardian plans to visit, we need written permission from the parent ahead of time.
Thank you for helping us make lunch visits a safe, positive experience for everyone. We can’t wait to see you in the cafeteria!
