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 to educate our community about this important issue — and to teach effective strategies in response to bullying.
.
Today’s bullying prevention topic is “EMPATHY — or putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.” It is so important to consider OTHER PEOPLE’S feelings, and how WE might feel if something similar were happening to us. How would YOU feel if you were the only one not invited to a party? How would YOU feel if someone called you names all the time? How would YOU feel if someone spread rumors about you?
.
On the other hand, how would you feel if someone ELSE stood up for YOU? Or if someone ELSE spoke up for YOU when you were being bullied?
.
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!
