PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Thanksgiving is the occasion most brought to mind when the calendar flips to the month of November; but, there are two other events on the November calendar deserving of acknowledgment. Both days are set aside to recognize citizens who choose to serve their community, government, and country. These people offer their time, expertise, and even their lives, to serve others.
Early in November, Election Day gave everyone a chance to “serve" by providing the freedom to cast a personal vote for those who are willing to commit themselves to represent and serve their communities. On November 11, Veterans Day reminded all people to set aside just a few moments to remember the men and women who unselfishly commit to serve our country by enlisting in our armed forces.
These are unprecedented times, causing the need for unprecedented and difficult decisions by those who have chosen to serve others. I am grateful for their service.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Mr. Suminski
D57 Information on Bullying
In District 57, we take the prevention of bullying very seriously. All K-8 students participate in weekly classroom meetings/advisory meetings to build classroom community and provide strategies for students on how to prevent/handle potential bullying situations. This is done, in part, using the Olweus Bully Prevention Program. This curriculum offers an opportunity for students to share their feelings and opinions, to suggest solutions, and to learn to follow the rules and handle bullying situations appropriately. It also builds class community and cohesiveness and recognizes achievements and successes of the class as a whole.
We encourage any student or parent who is aware of a potential bullying situation to report the issue immediately to a staff member. This report will initiate an investigation. Whether or not the issue is found to be bullying, any behavior that does not follow school expectations will be addressed. We want all students to feel safe and comfortable during their time at school, and we are committed to removing barriers that are preventing this for individual students or groups of students. For more resources on this topic, please visit this link.
