ACTNOW, anti-bullying program in the Primary School
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As a district, we are continuously striving to provide an inclusive, healthy, and safe learning environment for all students. To support this effort, we are once again utilizing an online bully-prevention program, Act Now. This program, created by Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin (CHW) in collaboration with the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), provides grade level appropriate lessons, videos, and games focused on important topics such as; being a good friend, understanding feelings, and tattling vs telling. Act Now also gives children the skills to prevent and stop bullying situations. Ms. Kohnert(kohnerj@merton.k12.wi.us) will deliver the program during her regularly scheduled lessons with each grade level during the first couple months of the school year.
During or after the completion of this program would be an excellent opportunity
to discuss some of these topics in greater depth with your child. We appreciate
that you may have a different perspective to add to our academic approach. Topics for discussion and additional resources can be found on the Act Now parent link.
We feel that health and wellness is an important part of your child‘s education.
This is not a permission slip. However, if you do NOT want your child to
participate in the program, please notify us in writing as soon as possible.
