Classroom Visits
The focus during classroom visits this month will be Bullying Prevention. Students will learn what bullying is, how to spot the signs, recognizing different types of bullying, and how to be an upstander. Students have the opportunity to complete an October Counselor Connection Activity to be entered into a drawing for a reward.
During the 2nd quarter the 5th grade students will complete their quarterly digital citizenship lesson “What’s Cyberbullying?”. Check out the family tip sheet here!

DID YOU KNOW? Children of parents who talk to their children regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these conversations.

This year’s theme is Life Is A Movie, Film Drug Free.™ Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week® and get tips for talking to your kids about drugs.
