Bullying versus Teasing
Hearne Family,
Bullying is different from teasing. Administrators are conducting investigations this school year that are ultimately revealing teasing on both sides versus bullying. We would like to share some information with you regarding the difference between the two. Feel free to share this with your class as well.
Let us know if you need further clarification.
What is Bullying?
Defined in the Education Code as a single significant act or pattern of acts by one or more students directed at another student that exploits an imbalance of power and occurs when a student or group of students engages in written or verbal expression through electronic means, or physical conduct against another student that:
- Has the effect or will have the effect of physically harming a student, or damaging the student's property; or
- Places a student in reasonable fear of physical harm to the student's person;
- Is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive enough that the action or threat creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for that student;
- Materially and substantially disrupts the educational process or the orderly operation of a classroom or school; or
- Infringes on the rights of the targeted student at school.

Paws for Following Dismissal Expectations and Exiting the Cafeteria Line on a Level 0
Our focus for paws will be dismissal and exiting the cafeteria on a level 0 at this time.
Hopefully this schoolwide incentive will motivate our students to behave accordingly. As we know, Spring fever will be here soon, and we want to be proactive. I need staff to help promote “Paws for Pawsitive Behavior”. This is just reinforcing your classroom positive behavior incentives. Thanks for your cooperation and for all you do!!
Our UPDATED Campus Goal- Targeted Small Group Instruction

If you have a student who has missed more than 3 days (consecutive or not), please call the parent and begin documenting your attempts to get the student to come to school each day. Keep in mind the flu season has been horrible this year. Please express your compassion to our parents and families. Ask for a doctors note to excuse the absence, if necessary.
