In the event of an evacuation of the building, the instructional staff has the responsibility of leading students to an area of safety. Safety drills will be conducted throughout the year to help us be as prepared as possible. Every effort will be made to keep parents informed during an emergency however, parents are requested to stay away from the school grounds to help maintain clear access to the school grounds for emergency equipment, until asked to go to the school by emergency personnel. If possible, parents should walk over to the building when the time is right.
In the event there is a major emergency at Stansbury Park, and we need to vacate the school, our site of reunification will be Stansbury High School, Rose Springs Elementary, or the LDS church on Village Boulevard. In the event we are required to be transported to a different location by bus, we will go to Old Mill Elementary. Please do not come over to Stansbury Park Elementary while we are vacating. Meet your child at the reunification site. An accurate accounting of all students will be necessary. Students will be released only to their parents or to those listed on their emergency contacts. Please be prepared to show identification.
You may call the district office at 833 – 1900 for further information and/or instructions in the event of an emergency.
 

Mrs. Silva has an open-door policy with parents, teachers and students. Please take advantage of the invitation to come in and visit, call, or email if you have a question that needs to be answered or a concern. If Mrs. Silva is not available when you stop by, she will get back to you as soon as possible. Please feel free to make an appointment through the secretaries if you prefer.

Community Council is an integral part of Stansbury Park Elementary and the school owes much of its success to these organizations which are kept going by very dedicated and talented parent volunteers. We encourage all of you to be involved.
The Community Council reviews programs, testing results and develops the Trust Lands Plan. Instructional aides, P.E., Computer Specialists, resources, and supplies are among the things funded by Trust Lands.
The Community Council meets throughout the year in the Library, and parents are encouraged to participate. Please watch for dates and agendas on the school website or Facebook page. Agendas are posted on the school doors prior to meetings and if there’s something you’d like included on the agenda, please contact Mrs. Silva at least a week before the scheduled meeting.

The Parent Teacher Association provides an opportunity for parents to get involved in the school in a variety of ways. Our PTA provides many great activities for our children throughout the year including Reflections, the Book Battle, Field Day, and classroom parties.
The PTA generously stocks the Teacher Supply Closet, provides meals for teachers and staff during conferences and treats the teachers to wonderful surprises during Teacher Appreciation Week.
 
The PTA provides transportation costs for field trips by sponsoring various fundraisers.
PTA Meetings are generally held each month. Please be on the look-out for quarterly newsletters and check out PTA information on the school website, PTA or SPES Facebook. Please consider joining and being involved as much as you can. Our PTA President is Melanie Thorup.
 

We use Skyward to electronically send emails and fliers. You MUST have a current email registered with the school in order to receive the fliers and emails. You can login to Skyward to update any email information. If you do not have access to email, please let the office know you will need a paper copy of all e-fliers sent home. Teachers will use Parent-Square as a texting app to send home important information.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher or Mrs. Silva. If a problem arises, you are encouraged to talk to your child’s teacher first to gain a full perspective. If a problem can’t be resolved or you are aware of a serious situation, please contact Mrs. Silva directly. Email is an easy way to contact staff. Most of our email can be addressed using the first initial and last name @tooeleschools.org.

We suggest an arrival time of 8:40 unless children eat school breakfast. Students who eat breakfast will be admitted into the building at 8:25 through the back-lunchroom door. Please carpool or arrange child- care so children will not be dropped off or arrive too early. Outside supervision begins at 8:30. Students should be in their seats and ready to start school when the tardy bell rings at 8:50.

Students are asked to arrange an afterschool meeting place with siblings and/or friends. Students should not wait for each other outside classrooms because that creates problems. Please help your child arrange a meeting place that will work well for all involved.

Some suggestions include by the flagpole, by the pine trees, at the bike racks or at the crossing guard post. Students are not to be playing on playground equipment during dismissal, so we suggest other areas for meeting.

Being late can be disruptive to a child’s education. Excessive or habitual tardiness causes students to miss important instruction. It takes additional teacher time to explain or help the tardy student catch-up. It is often embarrassing for students to be late. Please help us by making sure your child gets off to a good start. The best arrival time is 8:40.

There is a powerful link between attendance and academic success in school. To give students the best opportunity to reach their potential both academically and socially, they must attend regularly. When students are tardy or absent, they miss out on valuable learning and social experience that cannot be replaced. This year we are implementing a goal for our students to miss less than 9 days of school for the year. Our slogan is: “Show up to shine; Stay under 9”. Please support us in this endeavor.

The fewer the absences the better, but generally ten school days missed for the entire year is considered manageable. Acceptable reasons for being absent are personal illness, professional appointments that are impossible to schedule at any other time and family emergencies. Babysitting, shopping and other such things are not recognized as legitimate reasons for missing school. Please do everything possible to arrange vacations with the school calendar in mind. Try to schedule doctor and dentist appointments so that children do not miss instruction. Unless the appointment takes the entire school day, students are expected to attend class before and after their appointments.

It is extremely difficult to successfully keep up with class work if attendance is irregular. Even “getting the work” does not make up for missing direct instruction. Regular attendance is not only critical for a good education but is the parent’s legal responsibility.

If your child is going to be absent or late, we ask that you please email the school secretary (dhenwood@tooeleschools.org ) by 9:30. Email is preferable, but a quick phone call works too. A voice mail message can be left if the call is made before school hours. If a child does not arrive at school, we want to be sure he/she is safe with you.

TCSD has a call out system which will make phone calls home if your child has not been called in absent and excused that day. At this time, those phone calls will go out starting at 10:30 a.m.

Each family will have access to the Tooele School District’s Compulsory Attendance Policy which will be posted online at our school’s website. Please review the policy and if you would like a paper copy of the policy for your records, please stop by the office and pick one up.

When students are sick, teachers will gather assignments to be picked up after school or sent home with another student, if requested. Please email the teacher or call to request the service. Please do not drop in during the school day to pick up assignments for students who are sick.

Please be aware of the late work and make up work policies in grades 4, 5 and 6. Your child’s teacher will provide detailed information regarding late work and make up work.

Students are not to be on the playground using equipment or playing during dismissal. They may return later to play outside once they have checked in with their parents and have their parents’ permission, but students will not be able to have access to the building nor will supervision be provided.

In the event a student needs to be dismissed from school prior to the last bell of the day, parents/guardians are to come to the office and officially withdraw the student. Upon completion of the sign out process which includes presenting identification, the student will be called to the office. Parents/guardians are not allowed to go directly to class and withdraw the student. We will not allow students to wait outside of the building for parents to pick them up during the school day. Students are not allowed to walk home by themselves during school hours for safety reasons.

According to Tooele County School District Policy, late work will be accepted and assessed within two (2) weeks of the due date. Work assigned within the last two weeks of the term is due three calendar days prior to the end of the term. Late work may result in up to 15% reduction at the teacher’s discretion in the overall score for that assignment. Students with excused absences have three school days to make-up work without penalty. Please refer to the district policy. If you have questions or concerns, contact your child’s teacher or Mrs. Silva. Time spent on homework includes reading time and is based on the student’s grade level:

Grades in Skyward: will be updated weekly. Student proficiency is to be measured as a grade that consists of assessment, classwork, and homework. Please refer to the TCSD policy.

Students in grades 4, 5 and 6 are given planners at the start of the school year. They are used as an organizational tool to help keep parents informed about schoolwork. The planner may be used to list work that needs to be done at home and provides information on any special projects. The replacement cost is $1.50.

Any textbooks, library books or books in special reading programs need to be returned or replaced before Field Day if lost or damaged beyond repair. If not, students will do school service in lieu of field day.

Parents are encouraged to use SKYWARD to track their child’s work, attendance and lunch account. The school provides passwords and ID numbers. Please understand that grades will be posted in a timely manner. TCSD Board policy requires that grades be updated weekly. If you have any questions about missing assignments or grades, please email your child’s teacher.

Students are tested to monitor their progress throughout the school year. Some testing is informal, and some is formal and mandated by the state. All children at Stansbury Park Elementary are given reading screenings at the beginning of the school year to help teachers plan effective instruction. Throughout the year reading skills development and fluency is regularly tested using Acadience (formerly Dibels). This system will also be used for math screening and progress monitoring.

Cooperation between teachers and parents plays an important role in student success. For that reason, parents should feel free to contact any of our teachers and arrange a conference to discuss student progress at any time you believe is necessary. Please call or email to schedule the conference before coming to the school. Please do not feel you have to wait for formal conferences to meet with your child’s teacher.

We will send out information for our formal parent teacher conferences.

Staff members consider the academic needs of the student and attempt to match those needs with individual strengths of teachers. We work diligently to balance each class so that teachers are not hampered in their efforts to meet individual needs. We look closely at the social and behavioral needs of each student to create the most productive, effective, and positive learning environment possible.

We have learned that requests for teachers may get in the way of an effective and balanced education for all students. Therefore, we do not take teacher requests. If there are extenuating circumstances that you want us to be aware of please contact Mrs. Silva in writing by the last day of school.

Student visitors are not permitted to attend classes, visit school, or classrooms during regular school hours. District policy does not allow students to attend classes unless enrolled at our school. Our school cannot be held responsible, legally or practically, for taking care of children who are not registered at Stansbury Park Elementary. Please make other arrangements for visiting school-age relatives and friends.

BREAKFAST - Breakfast begins at 8:25 and ends at 8:45. Students leave the cafeteria at 8:45 when the first bell rings so they can get to class on time. Breakfast for students costs $2.00.

SCHOOL LUNCH - School breakfast costs $2.00 and lunch costs $2.50. If you need to apply for free/reduced meals, you can find the application on Tooele County School District website.

We are diligently and constantly working toward good table manners, courtesy and proper lunchroom behavior. We believe we should reinforce good eating and behavior habits taught at home. Each child is expected to practice good manners while in the cafeteria. For sanitary and allergy reasons students should not exchange or share lunches.

The school telephones are for business purposes. In order to eliminate confusion in the office and relieve pressure on the telephone we ask you to PLEASE ARRANGE WITH YOUR CHILDREN AHEAD OF TIME WHERE THEY SHOULD GO AFTER SCHOOL OR THE PICK-UP SCHEDULE IF THEY ARE IN A CARPOOL.

Children with a legitimate reason (emergency) and the telephone pass from their teacher will be allowed to use the phone.

Please do not call children out of class to use the phone except for emergencies and please, don't ask the office staff to relay messages to your child unless the situation is very important. We try to limit all classroom interruptions to facilitate productive use of classroom time. We WILL NOT call a student out of class to receive a phone call, unless it is an emergency.

We understand the feeling of security that cell phones or smart watches bring, but we need to make sure they don’t cause problems and disruption at school. Cell phones and/or smart watches may be brought to school with parent’s permission but must be turned off during school hours and kept in backpacks. Cell phones or smart watches are not to be used by students during school hours including recess to call or text out. The office phone is available for students when necessary and with permission during the school day. We cannot assume any responsibility for cell phones or smart watches.

If students do not comply with cell phone or smart watch rules, consequences may be the following: 1st infraction - Cell phone held until end of day.

2nd infraction - Cell phone held until parent picks up.

Clothing, language and behavior reflect the pride we take in our school and in the pursuit of learning. Proper dress and grooming greatly affect the attitude and behavior of students.

Some specific dress standards for our school are:

1.     Shoes are always required, including on the playground. Because children will be expected to play outside, please ensure that their shoes are appropriate for active play. Wheelies are not allowed.

2.    Students may wear shorts that cover underwear completely and are the appropriate length.

3.    Halter-tops, midriffs and spaghetti straps are not appropriate for school. Sleeveless tops may be worn, as long as they are modest and the body is covered properly.

4.    Any clothing with vulgar words or inappropriate pictures will not be allowed at school. Also clothing with advertisements for alcohol, drugs or tobacco or not to be at school.

Parents may be called to bring appropriate clothing to school if the student’s clothing is not appropriate for school. On special occasions, the building principal may designate days when dress standards may be slightly altered.

Please be sure that your child is dressed appropriately to fit the weather conditions for the day.

Stay aware of predicted weather conditions and dress your child for their comfort and safety.

Each 2nd- 6th grade child may check out two books weekly. Please return books in a timely manner. If a book is lost or damaged, please contact Mrs. Cox in the library.

Throughout the school year many personal items are left unclaimed by students. These include coats, hats, shoes, gloves, and lunchboxes. Please label all items brought to school and if your child loses anything, please check in the school’s lost and found. Any unclaimed items will be donated to a charitable institution at winter break, spring break and summer break.

Please inform the office if you change your address or phone numbers at home or at work. It is IMPERATIVE that we are able to locate you in case of an emergency.

Students who are transferring to another school MUST CHECK OUT through the office before leaving. Textbooks, library books, and lunch fees MUST ALL BE CHECKED OFF BEFORE RECORDS ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW SCHOOL.

Teachers are dedicated hard-working individuals. Occasionally, even teachers must be away from their classrooms because of personal/family reasons, illness or other emergencies. When the regular classroom teachers are away from the school, the Tooele County School District has hired and cleared a core of qualified individuals to fill in until the regular teacher returns to her/his classroom. If you are willing to serve as a substitute at our school, please let us know.

Functioning as a guest teacher is a difficult job. We need to help them be as successful as possible in their jobs. Counsel your children to be on their best behavior when a guest teacher is assigned. Remind them to treat the guest teacher with respect.

Please always drive carefully and slowly around the school and be sure everyone wears seat belts. Periodically local police officers will monitor compliance with traffic and safety laws.
We use the parking lot for drop off and pick up. Students should only enter or exit vehicles on the curbside. NEVER PARK OR LEAVE YOUR CAR UNATTENDED IN THE LOADING ZONE.
Right turn only laws are in effect when leaving the parking lot during pick up and drop off times to help the flow of traffic and increase safety. 
NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO CROSS THE BUS CIRCLE FOR SAFETY REASONS (INCLUDING PARENTS). Please use sidewalks and crosswalks and never cross between parked cars. Adults should be good role models for the students. Students should only cross the street at the crosswalk zone.

Most students attending Stansbury Park; walk or ride their bikes, come in a school bus or are driven in private vehicles. Children should be taught by their parents the safest route to school. Students should always use sidewalks and be aware of their surroundings. The walking plan is on the school website.

Upon approaching the campus, students should cross the street only at the crosswalk, at the three-way stop intersection northwest of the school, or at the intersection near the 400s subdivision. Two Tooele City Crossing Guards are stationed to supervise students crossing the street, one at each crosswalk. The students who cross under the direction of the crossing guard can access school grounds immediately. These are the safest ways to cross the busy roads. When students reach the school grounds, they must get off their bikes, scooters etc.… and walk through the school grounds. Students are not allowed to ride/use wheeled equipment on school grounds.

Students should not Jay-walk across roads north or west of the school to meet their ride. They can, however, cross at the two designated crosswalks and then find their ride. Also, parents can meet their children in front of the school and escort them to the cars parked across the street. Please use the sidewalks and follow all safety rules to be a good example to your children and others.

Please be sure your students know to stay off the golf course. Not only does it disturb play, but it is a safety issue. Students are to avoid the ponds and not play in or around them when coming to and from school. The ponds may appear to be frozen during winter months but may not be.

Community groups may reserve the field for after school activities, but the district requires that procedures be followed. Please use Facilitron to schedule use of fields.

Because of the danger to our students, we ask that PARENTS NOT DRIVE VEHICLES ONTO THE PLAYGROUND OR BEHIND THE SCHOOL. Risk Management recommends that vehicles not be on the playground ever including weekends especially if any child is at play. Please park in the parking lot or in the bus circle when here for after school activities. For this reason, the chain barrier is in place denying vehicles access to the blacktop area.

Students are subject to the same rules of conduct while traveling to and from school as they are while on school grounds.

Bicycle racks are available for students and are located on the north and south sides of the building. Please be sure your child has a lock for their bike and that it is always used. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the security of bikes.

Parental discretion is advised in allowing your student to ride their bike or scooter to school. They must be used with extreme caution and students should always wear helmets. Please be vigilant about teaching traffic safety rules with your child. We will do the same at school.

Bikes and scooters must be walked on school grounds both before and after school.

It is necessary that we have a current phone number where we can reach a parent, relative, or neighbor at all times. If a student becomes ill or is injured at school, parents/guardians will be called. Parents/guardians will be expected to pick up their ill/injured child or make arrangements for another person to pick him/her up as promptly as possible.

State law forbids school personnel to dispense any medication, even over the counter remedies, without the written consent of the child’s physician, and/or the City/County Health Department. Forms for this purpose are available in the office and must be completed before we will administer any medication. All medication containers must have complete information attached: name of contents, patient, dosage, and instructions.
Children are not allowed to carry medication of any kind at school including prescriptions, aspirin or Tylenol. Cough drops are okay. The only exception would be for students with a health care plan and need that requires medication at school, for example, diabetes and asthma.
NOTE: State law is very strict and will not allow the school to dispense any over the counter drugs such as Pepto- Bismol, cough syrup, Tylenol, or aspirin.
 
If you have any questions, please contact us or the Tooele Health Department, (435) 843–2314.

From time to time we are notified that a parent has discovered lice in their child’s hair.
Lice is not uncommon with school children, and is not a health emergency. It does not mean that children are dirty. Having lice does not justify undue alarm. We ask that you handle this matter-of-factly and discourage irrational and unkind reactions.
According to the Health Department, lice do not jump from head to head and are spread through direct contact and sharing items like brushes, hats and pillows. For further information please call the Tooele County Health Department at (435) 843–2316.

Sometimes recess is held indoors when the weather is bad, but most recesses are outside. We are sorry that we cannot accommodate requests for students to remain inside for recess. Students are not to be left unsupervised in classrooms and recess is often the only time teachers can leave their rooms. Please encourage your child to come to school dressed appropriately for the weather. If there are extenuating circumstances or a doctor’s note, please call Mrs. Silva.

Children are not to bring toys to school unless invited by the teacher for a special day. Throughout the year there may be a special “Stuffed Animal Day” or other such activity. If that happens, parents will get a flier or note stating children can bring something special for the occasion.

Any object that is judged to be a distraction or a danger in the classroom or playground may be taken from the student and held by the teacher or turned over to school administration. Objects will be returned to parents.

Gum is not to be chewed by students at school. Gum is not easily removed and often damages school and personal property.

Electronic devices can be expensive. If they are brought to school, families assume the risk. These items must be turned off and kept in backpacks during the entire school day and are only to be used on the way to and from school with parental permission. We advise that students do NOT wear headphones or other pieces while walking or riding bikes.

The Tooele Board of Education limits parties held on school time. The school also recognizes the appropriate use of group rewards when earned by the students. Parents may wish to celebrate a student’s birthday or other important event by bringing in a treat for the class. Parents are asked to contact their classroom teacher and make appropriate arrangements. Out of concern for the feelings of our students, we cannot allow birthday invitations to be distributed at school unless everyone in the class or every one of the same gender in the class is invited.

Utah State Code [Food and Sanitation 2-101] requires that no home canned or home prepared items be served at school. If food items are a part of any classroom celebration, the food items must be brought to school in unopened original containers. Special food presentations and classroom demonstrations of food preparation may be allowed if cleared through the school administration prior to the demonstration.

Period products are available in the upper grades girls' restrooms and office. 

Stansbury Park Elementary “SHINE” club recognizes students. “A member of the staff may present a “SHINE” ticket to a student who is caught exemplifying the characteristics of SHINE. Students will be recognized during afternoon announcements. Students also have the chance to earn monthly yard signs for exemplifying characteristics such as honesty and quarterly “Shining Star” awards. The teachers or principal will send a note or make a phone call home with the good news.

There are several other incentive programs at school including the Yes / No/ Program where classes get small rewards like extra recess for good behavior in the lunchroom. We may be instituting other programs throughout the year at school. Ask your child about them!

Students are to follow our motto: “SHINE”

Show respect
Help others
Inspire learning
Never give up
Encourage everyone

The objective of school discipline is to help make school a safe place and to protect the rights of everyone. Proper discipline is an important part of education and very little can be accomplished when it does not exist. We believe that our students are entitled to the best education our resources can provide. Students who disrupt the educational setting, endanger the rights and safety of others, or harass other students will receive corrective guidance and be subject to disciplinary action.
We believe that teachers have a right to teach and students have a right to learn. Our goal is to focus on the positive and to recognize students for making good choices.
We believe that students have certain responsibilities and standards of conduct to maintain that will enable them to learn in the school environment and become successful members of society.
Those standards and responsibilities include but are not limited to:
1.    Respect the rights and responsibilities of others.
2.    Accept responsibility for his / her own choices and consequences of choices - good and bad.
3.    Abide by the authority of teachers, staff and other adults.
4.    Follow school and classroom expectations.
5.    Make a constant effort to do one's best.
6.    Help maintain school property and keep it free from damage and vandalism.
7.    Abide by all classroom rules and general school rules.
We care about every child who walks through our doors. We work hard to see that your child's dignity and self- respect are maintained. If a problem does occur, please contact the teacher or the principal so that solutions can be found. We cannot address situations we are not aware of.

STANSBURY PARK’S SCHOOL WIDE RULES AS FOLLOWS:

1.   Follow directions the first time given.

2.   Keep hands, feet, mouth, and objects to yourself.

3.   Follow specific area rules.

4.   Use all materials and equipment properly.

Any rules not covered in this handbook are subject to the District Policy and the Tooele County School District Safe School, Conduct, and Discipline Policy. (All parents should read this policy included in the policy handbook. Parents are to sign that they have received the policy and return the sign off sheet to the student's teacher.)

FIGHTING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED – Children must learn to work out their differences in a way that does not lead to more problems. School suspension is possible.

PROFANITY IS UNACCEPTABLE - Students engaged in vulgar speech whether spoken, written or gestured will be subject to discipline. Schools have become more and more aware of sexual harassment issues and are understandably required to take action when problems are reported.

PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE – When a student is sent to the principal’s office for disciplinary purposes, several things may take place depending on the nature of the behavior and the frequency of visits.

Consequences will vary depending on the situation. Such consequences may include but are not limited to a discussion, loss of privileges, parent conferences, in school suspension or out of school suspension.

BULLYING PREVENTION – Bullying of any type is harmful and will not be tolerated.

Many students in elementary schools joke around with each other, call each other names or engage in physical horseplay. Sometimes play gets too rough. We discourage these behaviors at school, but not all these events are bullying.

Bullying and harassment are major distractions from learning and both the victim and perpetrator suffer significant negative consequences when engaged in this type of antisocial behavior. Bullying causes pain and stress and is never justified or excused as “kids just being kids”, “just teasing” or any other rationalizations. The victim is never responsible for being a target of bullying.

Bullying is about power. Bullying usually occurs between students who are not friends with the intent to hurt the victim in some way. There is often a difference in power between the bully and the victim. The bully may be bigger, tougher or stronger, but that is not always true. The bully may be able to intimidate others or have the power to exclude others from their social group. Bullying is deliberate, aggressive, hurtful behavior toward another and repeated over time. It can include name-calling, spreading rumors, abusive phone calls and physical intimidation. Leaving someone out on purpose or trying to get others not to play with someone is also bullying behavior. Most bullying starts out verbally with teasing and verbal put-downs and may become progressively worse if not addressed. Cyber bullying has become a big problem as well.

Children are taught to identify bullying and how to handle problems. Students are expected to treat each other with respect, to refuse to bully anyone and to refuse to stand by and watch or join in when someone is being bullied. Bystanders are expected to report bullying. Bystanders can make a big difference in whether bullying continues. Bystanders are sometimes reluctant to speak out because they are often afraid that they will become victims too. Please help your child understand that reporting is the first step to making things better. Children should not be afraid to get help when necessary. The goal of any effective school solution is to take away all support for the bully.

Posters around the school display the following rules about bullying:

At the elementary school level our goal is to stop bullying from occurring. Children are taught skills that help them handle the situations themselves if possible. Teachers are knowledgeable and aware of bullying behaviors and consequences. While we want children to be empowered and to learn how to stick up for themselves in the appropriate way, oftentimes, adult intervention is necessary. If a child is being bullied, they should tell their parents, teacher or report it to the principal. Action will be taken.

Responses to bullying may include the 3 R’s: restitution, resolution and reconciliation. It may include discussions and re-teaching. Children who bully others must develop empathy and learn positive social skills. They need to learn how to manage anger and to resolve conflict peacefully. We strive to provide constructive learning experiences for children who have exhibited bullying behaviors. We recognize the need to provide consequences for inappropriate behavior, but as educators we also recognize the need to “teach” students more appropriate behavior. In response to bullying behaviors we attempt to help our students understand the effects of their actions on the school community, take responsibility for their behavior and accept the consequences. Consequences for bullying may include a verbal warning, removal from activities or a conference with parents. A verbal or written apology to victims may be required. In some cases, detention or suspension may be warranted.

Parents are an important component in stopping bullying. They can help in making our school bully-free by teaching their children to be kind and tolerant of each other. Accepting nothing less than respectful behavior from our children at home and at school is the solution.
