October was first declared as National Bullying Prevention Month in 2006.
Since then, October has been a time to acknowledge that bullying has devastating effects on children and families such as school avoidance, loss of self-esteem, increased anxiety, and depression. At Boucher we work hard to teach our students the seriousness of bullying and the meaning of the word.
Conflict Resolution
We also teach conflict resolution skills to help students learn to navigate and solve more minor issues with their peers.
9W1: end October 8, 2024
Checking out books has started for 2nd-5th grade!!! Everyone is excited to get students reading and passing quizzes. We have modified the 9W1 goal:
- Any student who earns 2.5 points and at least 85% on quizzes by October 8 will earn the reward- Bubbles and Blowpops with Mrs. Terry and Ms. Maddy.
This goal is very achieveable!

New Month New Core Value Focus
Students were introduced to our CORE value for the month during Fun Friday! They learned about what is and isn’t in our control as well as how important it is to STOP and THINK before we ACT.

#Growth
This past Friday, we reviewed the Lexia and iReady expectations with students. Both programs work to close learning gaps for students.
Lexia (ELA)- your child's goal for the 24-25 school year is to grow 4 levels from where they started.
iReady (Math) your child's goal for the 24-25 school year is to meet their typical growth target.
Every month, we will recognize students who LEVELED UP in Lexia with an certificate and air head.
