March is Reading Month is officially underway, and it’s a wonderful opportunity to inspire a love for reading in our Eisenhower community! Check out the calendar below to discover all the exciting events we have planned this month.

Let’s celebrate the magic of books by embracing the joy and wonder they bring into our lives. This month offers the perfect chance to spark curiosity, encourage our children to explore new worlds, and dive into captivating stories that ignite their imaginations.

To make the most of this special time, we encourage you to carve out a little time each day to read with your child or support them in reading independently. Find a cozy spot, grab a favorite book, and let the adventure unfold!

Let's REV up for READING!

Our eagles absolutely loved planning, creating, and building their BMX bikes out of their household items. They took time to carefully articulate their plans and collaborate with others to share their thinking. The students shared their creations. Way to go kids!

Dear 6th-Grade Family,

Over the next several weeks, your child will be discussing bullying as part of Second Step® Middle School. Bullying is at its peak in middle school, and research indicates that taking proactive steps

to address bullying will help reduce occurrences of it in school.

Second Step Middle School is designed to support your child in developing the knowledge and

skills to help stop bullying. Students will learn how to recognize bullying in various contexts, how to

use strategies to stand up safely to bullying, and how to seek help if they or someone they know is

being bullied.

Here are some key definitions your child will be learning:

• Bullying: intentional physical, verbal, or social aggression. It’s often repeated over time and occurs when there’s a real or perceived power imbalance.
• Bystander: anyone who’s aware that bullying is happening
  
• Online bullying: the use of technology to harass, threaten, or intimidate another person
  
• Physical bullying: hurting someone’s body or possessions
• Relational bullying: hurting someone’s reputation or relationships, such as by excluding them
• Upstander: someone who stands up for a person being bullied
  
• Verbal bullying: saying or writing mean things about someone

We encourage students to report any instances of bullying they witness or experience to you and

to trusted adults at our school. Please contact the main office or your child's classroom teacher if you need support in reporting or dealing with bullying.

Additionally, if you have any questions about Second Step Middle School, please don’t hesitate

to contact me for more information. Thank you for your support as we work together to build a

bullying-free community.
