Counselor's Corner
October is National Bullying Prevention month. Although bullying awareness and prevention is something we teach all year long, a few special activities will be going on in classrooms throughout the month of October. Brief clips from www.pacer.org, which is a National Bullying Prevention Center, will be viewed in classrooms and discussed to explain what bullying is, how it feels, and what to do about it when it occurs. Each classroom and area in the school will be named a “No Bully Zone” and students will sign a pledge showing their commitment to help keep our school bully free. Students will receive a special bookmark as part of their pledge to “Be a Kid Against
Bullying”.
The week of October 19th is Digital Citizenship Week. Mr. Hunt and classroom teachers have already been teaching lessons on digital citizenship during computer lab. Technology is in our kid’s hands more and more each day and it is always good practice for parents to be highly involved in this area. Keep an eye on your children and the websites they are visiting. Put parental controls in place to make sure your children are safe and not being exposed to negative things on the internet or social media websites.
Red Ribbon Week is coming up the week of October 26th. We will have theme days each day to bring drug and alcohol awareness to our students. We will announce the activities for the week and theme days in next week’s newsletter.
Look on the counselor webpage for more details on October happenings:

Weekly Attendance Rate
- 96%
Remember our weekly goal is 97%, so please make sure that your child is at school everyday from 7:45-2:45.
If our attendance average at the end of the 1st nine weeks is 97% or higher, Mr. Holt is going to shave his head!
