Bullying Training: DUE OCTOBER 15TH
Each year it has been our practice to further support student safety by providing training to our students about Bullying and Harassment. As a friendly reminder, the resources and documents for the trainings can be found on our Decatur Proud Webpage under the 'Families' Tab. Select Bullying and Harassment and scroll to the bottom of the page to the 'Training' header to choose the trainings relevant to the grade level of your students. Or, follow this direct link.
Please have teachers provide training to all students by October 15th and turn in a copy of the classroom roster, with the date the training was provided, and the teacher signature.
Nice Work Sherlock!
There will be a box up front where you can put your answer on a piece of paper with your name on the back. Get them in the box at some point on Monday because we will draw a name at PD that afternoon where the winner will win a prize.
Here is the Nice Work Sherlock for week 1!

Check List for Elearning Days
The I.T. Department has put together an online checklist for teachers. This quick checklist will help you and our tech team to see where help is needed for teachers with E-Learning. Remember all inclement weather eLearning day calls will be for the same day in grades 3-12. Teachers must have their course ready to go by 9:00 am the day school is closed for an e-learning day.
The link for the checklist can be found here.
Teaches, please complete the checklist so you can get any assistance that you may need.
Phone Number for Elearning Days
Verify you address and phone number. The phone number listed is the one that will be called for Elearning days.
The clerical or treasurer in each building should make the changes in the Skyward Staff area if necessary.

Safety
So far we've reviewed keeping doors locked with rubber bands and exiting furthest away from threats. Now let's talk about supervision.
Children are quick and sometimes sneaky. It is inevitable that we will miss a thing or two. We also have adults entering the school environment. Parents can also present a threat to our safety. Please do not leave students unattended in classrooms, hallways, or at recess. Be aware of your environment. "Take care of your 20 feet"--Dr. Prusiecki
