Taking Time to Talk and Listen to Students About Fighting and Bullying
Every Tuesday, students in 4th and 5th grade participate in a lesson centered around preventing fighting and bullying. This week we will be focusing on Bystander Power: Ways Bystanders Can Stop Bullying. Please talk with your child about the lesson and how he/she can apply at school and home. We are relentlessly working together to ensure Cold Water Elementary is a safe and collaborative learning environment for all to flourish.
