October is National Bullying Prevention Month. By promoting positive actions such as kindness, acceptance, and inclusion, we can help stop bullying in our schools. Each interaction leads to a greater school culture. Everyone has the right to feel supported and included. Each person in our school community has the power to help stop bullying. If you see something, say something.

Ivy Watts will be at our school on Thursday talking to 6-12th grade students as well as staff. Here is Ivy's biography:

Ivy Watts, a former All-American student-athlete and Top 30 finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, knows firsthand the toll that stress, self-doubt, and burnout can take. Despite academic and athletic success, she silently battled anxiety and depression until she sought help and rebuilt her confidence.

Now, as a Mental Health Speaker, Author and Somatic Coach, Ivy empowers others to prioritize self-care and rise into their best selves. Through her keynotes, workshops, and self-help book, You Are Worth Fighting For, she has impacted over 200,000 individuals, from students to corporate professionals, equipping them with the tools to manage stress, cultivate self-love and thrive.

Friday School will occur this Friday, September 26th from 8:00 a.m. until noon in Mrs. Cox's classroom. This is for 6th-12th graders and is a time to receive extra assistance from a teacher. If your child is failing, has a low grade, or missing assignments, this is a great opportunity for them to come in. Please call the school if you have any questions.

In the morning if you are dropping off your child in the elementary, please drop them off on "G" Street. The end door will be open for students to enter. If you are taking your child to the middle/high school building, you may drive around through campus and drop them off at the front door of that school. For pick-up after school, please park in a single file row on "G" Street in the same area. Staff will bring students out and make eye contact with you before sending students. If you are walking with your child, you may wait on the sidewalk on "G" Street as well. If families are riding bikes, etc., we ask that families walk the bikes until off of campus. We are trying to make our campus as safe as possible. Please avoid making U-turns on campus. If you drive on campus, please drive the full loop. Also, we have newly painted crosswalks, so please use them. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter and keeping our students safe.
