School Bullying Effects Us ALL
The overall outlook of the long term effects of bullying upon society is grim:

- 30% of students who reported they had been bullied said they had at times brought weapons to school.
- A bully is 6 times more likely to be incarcerated by the age of 24.
- A bully is 5 times more likely to have a serious criminal record when he grows up.
- 2/3 of students who are targets become bullies.
- 20% of all children say they have been bullied.
- 20% of high school students say they have seriously considered suicide within the last 12 months.
- 25% of students say that teachers intervened in bullying incidents while 71% of teachers say they intervened.
- The average child has watched 8,000 televised murders and 100,000 acts of violence before finishing elementary school.
- In schools where there are anti-bullying programs, bullying is reduced by 50%.
- Bullying was a factor in 2/3 of the 37 school shootings reviewed by the US Secret Service.
- According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety Health (NIOSH) (Sauter, et al.,1990), there is a loss of employment amounting to $19 billion and a drop in productivity of $3 billion due to workplace bullying.

Great Things Happening in the Classrooms
Attendance
Daily attendance to school is required.
The only reason a student can be excused for illness is if…
The student has a fever
The student is vomiting or has diahrea
The student has a contagious infection
After one day of illness, parents will be required to provide a doctor's note.
Career Day
Thank you to ALL the amazing guest speakers that came out for Career Day. This would not have been such a great success without Mrs. Piazza, AVID and all that helped out! It takes a team and LCMS is a great one!
iPad Reminder
iPads need to be charged each night before school...remember, it's a tool, not a toy.
