Mustang Morning
6th Grade: This week’s lesson will help your child understand the difference between bullying and joking around, and that joking can escalate and become bullying. Helping students understand when joking becomes bullying can reduce negative impacts on others.
7th Grade: This week students will discuss horseplay and how horseplay can quickly escalate to altercations and fighting. Students will discuss how to have fun at school while still being kind.
8th Grade: In this week’s lesson, your child will consider other people’s attitudes and beliefs about bullying and harassment, as well as their own.
Parents, think of a time when you have either been or witnessed bullying or harassment. How did it make you feel and what did you do? Share this experience with your child.
Please click the Unit 2 Overview to preview lesson topics and objectives. If you do not want your child to participate in Unit 2 for any reason, please complete this form. Should you have any questions, please reach out to Abigail Allen, assistant principal, at abigail_allen@ccpsnet.net.
It's Easy to Recognize Teachers and School Employees
Game Changers: To recognize the game-changing work of Chesterfield County Public Schools employees, the school system recognizes Game Changers each month. Game Changers are those who step up to meet the needs of students; offer support and access to resources that assist their colleagues; provide an extra layer of support for families outside of the classroom; and who generally make a positive and sometimes life-changing difference in the lives of students, families and their colleagues. To recognize a Team Chesterfield Game Changer, complete this nomination form: bit.ly/CCPSgc.
Someone You Should Know: Someone You Should Know is a video series designed to share stories about interesting people working in Chesterfield County Public Schools. You can see the videos on the #oneCCPS YouTube channel (youtube.com/user/ccpsva). Nominate teachers and staff members by filling out the super-simple form at bit.ly/CCPSsomeone.
