.
Calling all students! It’s time to sign-up for Wolf Time!! If you didn’t complete the Wolf Time GoogleForm last week, please do so AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

See your TA teacher with any other questions.
.
Attention all PE students! Please bring your iPad to PE this week for a special health presentation from your grade level counselor. Once again, all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders need to bring their iPads to PE this week.

Does anybody want a WOLF PAW??? Then this story is for YOU!!

Please bring your donations to room 128 by this THURSDAY, and thanks for your support, Wolves!!

Calling all athletes!! The Fall sports season keeps rolling along — with girls ultimate, girls basketball, and boys soccer scheduled to begin next month. But to participate, you MUST do TWO THINGS: first, complete the QR code for your sport. And second, you must submit your SPORTS PHYSICAL FORM — Girls Ultimate is due TODAY; while Girls Basketball and Boys Soccer are due by October 18th. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.

I hope you’ve been on your best behavior lately, because Parent-Teacher Conferences are THIS WEEK — THURSDAY from 4:30 to 7:30pm; and FRIDAY from 8 to 11:30 a.m. Conferences will be conducted “Arena Style” — so tell your families that no appointment is necessary. Just come on in and have a chat! Parents and teachers together — what could be better than that?!
.
October is National Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month. The purpose is educate our community about this important issue — and to teach effective strategies in response to bullying.
.
Today’s bullying prevention topic is “Bullying 101.” Bullying can take many forms. In addition to physical bullying, it can also be emotional and social — using words to hurt someone, leaving someone out, or gossiping and spreading rumors. Further, bullying isn’t always face-to-face — as it often occurs over cell phones and the Internet.
.
If you, or someone you know, is struggling with bullying, please be an UPSTANDER — not a BYSTANDER. Tell your teacher, a counselor, an administrator, or another trusted adult. Together, we can stand up to bullies!
