Olweus Bullying Questionnaire
As you know we utilize the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program to help us address bullying in our school and district. As part of the program, we survey students in grades 7-8 once per year on their awareness of bullying in our school. This is valuable information that gives our school and district data on how we are doing and where we need to focus our efforts in regard to bullying prevention.
The survey for this year will be administered October 16th – 23rd in our Advisement classes.
The survey is given all at one time for our students in grades 7-8 and is read to them by the teachers. The survey is anonymous. The survey only indicates the school and grade level. The students do not give their name on the survey.
mySAEBRS
LCSD1 utilizes the mySABERS screener as part of the larger Fastbridge skills assessment. MySABERS is an evidence-based assessment that allows students to self-assess their social, academic, and emotional behavior competencies. The mySABERS screener helps us identify the social-emotional behavior skills necessary for academic success. As part of the program, we screen students in grades (2-12) three times per year. This is valuable information that gives our school and district valid and reliable data useful in determining how each student can be best supported for academic success. When students are safe, healthy, supported, engaged, and challenged, they are more likely to experience positive academic outcomes and long-term success.
The screener for this year will be administered on October 15, 2024 in advisement classes. Individual students’ scores on the mySAEBRS assessment are never used as the sole determinant of needs or support services. In cases where mySAEBRS results may indicate a need for assistance, the results will be reviewed and discussed by your student’s grade level team, and they will be contacting you.
Red Ribbon Week: October 23-30
Our Safe & Drug Free Schools Student Assistance Specialist is leading the Red Ribbon Week campaign at Johnson this year.
National Family Partnership is a national leader in drug prevention education & advocacy. Their mission is to lead and support our nation’s families and communities in nurturing the full potential of healthy, drug free youth.
AWARENESS – NFP provides drug awareness by sponsoring the annual National Red Ribbon Campaign™. Since its beginning in 1985, the Red Ribbon has touched the lives of millions of people around the world. In response to the murder of DEA Agent Enrique Camarena, angered parents and youth in communities across the country began wearing Red Ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the killing and destruction cause by drugs in America. In 1988, NFP sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Celebration. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities.
ADVOCACY – NFP is active in bringing the concerns and agenda of America’s parents and families to policy makers on a local, state, and national level. Joining NFP enables parents and coalitions to have direct access to our nation’s leaders and decision makers.
RESOURCES – Our organization acts as a national clearinghouse of prevention literature. NFP has developed a series of prevention brochures to help educate our Partners with all the latest information on our Universal Campaigns such as: Red Ribbon Campaign, Red Ribbon Certified Schools, Lock Your Meds , and Safe Homes / Safe Parties.

October 10-11
At Johnson, we want to make sure that you can meet with each of your student's teachers. Faculty will be in the main gym, auxiliary gym, or the cafeteria for you to meet on a walk in basis. Conferences will be limited to 5 minutes per teacher. If additional time is needed, you may choose to schedule a time with that teacher Friday morning between 8:00 and 11:00.
Cores do sit together to make it convenient for parents to see the English, Social Studies, Science & Math teachers for their child. Please view the map below to see where everyone will be located. We will also have a brochure with the map included upon entrance.
Enter through the Gym Doors (Door 10)
We will have a coloring station for younger siblings available at our Olweus Kick Off Station. Although there will not be specific supervision at that location, siblings are welcome to sit and color or take the coloring pages with them as they follow you around to meet the teachers.
