Fall Climate Survey Results
"Do you feel like you are a part of your school community?"--100% yes
"Do you have friends at school?"--99.4% yes
"Is there an adult you can talk to if you have a problem?"--99.4% yes
"Do you feel safe at school?"--98.3% yes
While this is a time of uncertainty and potentially elevated stress for some, we are very happy and proud that our students feel such a sense of belonging, connectedness and that school is such a positive place for them to come each day.

Parent Community Network (PCN) "The Upstanders" Screening and Panel Discussion
While much of the documentary seems to focus on the topic of cyberbullying and technology, which tend to be perceived as "bigger kid issues", more and more we are seeing younger and younger students accessing social media or utilizing technology for social purposes, so it is relevant to an elementary population.
I know I'm looking forward to attending and hope to see many of you there!
Health Concern...Who Do I Contact?
Liz Hahn (ehahn@d101.org) AND
