This week we kick off our Second Step unit in Recognizing Bullying & Harassment. Students will learn about:

1. Three most common types of in-person bullying (physical, relational & verbal.)

2. The definition of harassment and distinguish between bullying and harassment.

3. Understanding bullying: most students know bullying is harmful, despite its prevalence in school culture.

What can parents or guardians do to help?

Ask your child about what they learned about bullying this week. Ask if they have experienced or witnessed bullying. Encourage them to tell you how it made them feel and encourage them to always talk to a trusted adult if they witness or experience bullying behaviors.

Other steps we are taking this week:

• Our very own CRMS student news crew will start to work with our guidance staff to create a weekly news segment on bully prevention!
• The guidance staff and administration will continue to look into other preventative measures for bullying and information for parents.

Thanks to all the families who have joined PTO! We want to reach 100% participation!!! PTO does so much for our students and teachers throughout the year so please consider joining via https://camproad.revtrak.net/ or by completing the form and sending in with cash/check!

PTO Membership & Fall Fundraising Drive is also happening! Your Fall Sponsorship donation of $35 (or more) is the largest contributor to our budget! It’s what we call “One & Done” since it eliminates the need for us to ask your child to solicit funds throughout the year…no wrapping paper or candle sales! Our PTO budget funds many amazing projects for our school including author visits, library books, positive behavior celebrations, honor roll celebrations, special teacher/classroom projects, playground equipment, in-school and after-school clubs, band scholarships, and much more!

Students should NOT bring their Chromebook chargers to school. Please charge devices at home each evening. Chargers tend to disappear at school, and we have no way to track them. Students will be responsible for the cost of replacing lost chargers, so please don’t let your student bring the charger to school!

A reminder about the CCSD fee structure for damages and loss of chromebooks:

• Negligent/Accidental Breakage - No charge for first incident per school year $50 per incident for each subsequent event
• Intentional Vandalism - $300.
• Stolen Device - No cost if a police report is provided
• Lost Device - $300
• Lost Charger - $40
