Bus Safety Drills

This morning bus drivers and students practiced rear door evacuations drills when they arrived at school. Our drivers and students did an excellent job as they practiced these drills!

Mean vs. Rude vs. Bullying

Mr. Biggerstaff, K8 Counselor, is visiting classrooms to define and explain Mean, Rude, and Bullying.

Mean is saying or doing something on purpose to hurt someone maybe once or twice, sometimes in anger or to make someone else look bad.

Rude is unintentionally saying or doing something that hurts feelings or embarrasses someone. It is inconsiderate, thoughtless, unplanned behavior i.e. bad manners, self-centered.

Bullying is S.T.OM.P it happens Several Times, is One-sided, Mean, and Purposeful. Or one-sided, on purpose, and repeated involving an imbalance of power. It can be verbal/physical, manipulative, and can happen using social media as well. 

Walk Proud...

As I was walking down the Middle School hall, I was excited to see the following bulletin board with the quote, "Wherever life takes you, walk proud," by R. Stacey LaForme, the elected Chief of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation in Canada. 

I love how Ms. Smith used this quote in her teaching and then had students color tennis shoes to build the bulletin board! Great Move!

K-8 Fire Drill Completed!

Great job with the fire drill today.   Students and staff quickly and quietly evacuated the school in less than  90 seconds and returned to classroom learning in less than 9 minutes.  Thank you, students and staff!
