At Powell Butte, this year, we are focused on bullying prevention and we need your help. Please talk to your students about the following:

• Anyone can bully, and anyone can be bullied. Any student can exhibit bullying behavior – male or female, popular or unpopular, students with good grades, and those who struggle academically. Focus needs to be on a student’s behavior, not their profile, when determining if bullying occurred.
• Bullying isn’t about resolving conflict; bullying is about control. When bullying, children continue their behavior when they realize it is hurting someone, and are satisfied by a feeling of power and control.

As part of our effort in encouraging regular school attendance, teachers and students set classroom attendance goals monthly. Some days one can hear loud cheers as a memeber of their class enters, making it possible to meet their goal.
