Guidance Corner
This week in Guidance 3rd-5th grade did a Bullying Spectrum group activity. The students worked together to discuss bullying and rank bullying behaviors across a spectrum. They then answered the following questions:
Which type of bullying is the worst? Why do you think so?
Which type of bullying happens the most at this school? Why?
How do people typically deal with bullying? Does it usually work?
PTO Funds
PTO is back "in control" of some funding from last year. If you have any items that you would like to see purchased for school - wide use, please email Tanner or Christy Hannibal (ebinportelempto@gmail.com) to share your ideas.

Social Emotional Library: From Mrs. Vaughan
I've placed the books (all stamped with our names) in the lounge/workroom on the shelf behind the copier. There is a list of available titles along with a sign out sheet. Would you mind sending out an email to everyone telling them where they are?

Inappropriate Videos or Picture
The guidelines below were sent to administrators regarding inappropriate videos and pictures. I wanted you to be aware of these guidelines.
Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in the number of inappropriate videos and pictures that are students are taking and then spreading through various technology means. Below is a process to follow when you are in receipt of or have knowledge of an inappropriate even pornographic video or picture involving a student.
1. South Carolina Law makes it a felony for anyone other than law enforcement to possess any material that contains a visual representation of a minor engaging in sexual activity or appearing in a state of sexually explicit nudity. Additionally, it is also a felony to disseminate obscenity. Please see the attached laws in reference to possession and dissemination.

a. Do not forward the video or picture to anyone else.
b. Do not show the video or picture to anyone other than law enforcement.
c. Call law enforcement immediately.
3. What will law enforcement do?
a. Law enforcement will write a police report and may make arrests depending on the situation.
b. Your school device or personal device may be confiscated for evidence or it may be erased.

4. How do I know if it is inappropriate?

b. It is inappropriate if it is sexual in nature
c. If you have doubts contact law enforcement so they can make a determination.
