District Wide News
Social Emotional Learning Survey: You should have also received an email from Ms. Paluk regarding our work with Social Emotional Learning. Students in the middle school will be taking the survey over the two weeks. This information will help us know how to better meet our students' Social and Emotional need so that they can better access thier learning.
Bullying Lesson
Over the next week, all students will participate in a classroom based lesson on bullying. The goals of this lesson are to help students understand what bullying is, identify examples and non-examples of bullying and learn what they can do as a target, a bystander or a person who bullies.
