A Note from Mrs. D!
I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend! We sure did in the DeDominces' household, we got out for one more weekend of camping. It was some much needed time in nature together, after the hustle and bustle of a busy start to the school year.
It's exciting that we are starting our 4th week of school and we are looking forward to seeing everyone at Back to School Night on Thursday evening. This will be a great opportunity for you to learn more about what is happening in each classroom. Please see the details below for more information.
In this week's update you will find:
- Back to School Night Info.
- Picture Day
- Volunteer Opportunities/PTA Update
- School and District Reminders
Take care,
~Ms. D

Last school year the Board of Education updated its policies around bullying, and investigating complaints around bullying (See Policy JDHB / JDHB-E). To make the reporting process as easy as possible for victims of bullying, the district has created a single form to make a bullying report.
Once submitted, the school principal will be notified of your submission and will promptly begin to investigate the complaint. Parents/guardians can then expect to receive a report of this investigation. You can make a bullying report using the form on the Help for Students page which is also linked at the top of our school website. Paper copies will also be available in our/ your school’s front office.
El año pasado el Consejo de Educación actualizó sus políticas sobre el acoso o intimidación escolar y la investigación de reportes de incidentes de intimidación o acoso escolar (refiérase a la Política JDHB / JDHB-E>). Para hacer que el proceso sea lo más fácil posible para las víctimas, el distrito creó un formulario único para reportar incidentes de acoso o intimidación escolar.
Después de completarla, el director de la escuela será notificado del reporte e inmediatamente comenzará una investigación del incidente. Los padres y tutores legales recibirán un informe sobre la investigación. Use el formulario en la página de Ayuda para los estudiantes para completar un reporte sobre un incidente de acoso o intimidación escolar. El documento también está disponible sobre el encabezado de nuestro sitio web.También hay copias impresas en las oficinas principales de las escuelas.
