By taking this important assessment in your 9th and 10th grade years, it is a great practice for when it really counts as an 11th grader. Have your child stop by the Counseling office today to reserve their spot!
Cost: $20

A few reminders about absences:
1. Students are responsible for turning in all absence notes within 3 days of the absence or it will remain unexcused.
2. We do not accept notes that are FAXED or COPIED. Original notes are required and should be delivered by the student to their first period teacher.
3. A total of 6 absences are permitted for the school year--this includes parent and/or doctor's notes. After 6 absences, a medical excuse form must be filled out for each absence thereafter for consideration for an excused absence.

Bullying Defined
This is a nationwide issue that schools are
attempting to clarify and bring awareness in
order to stop this activity from occurring in our
schools. A commonly accepted definition for
bullying is: "A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and he or she has difficulty defending him or herself."
This definition includes three important
components:
- Bullying is aggressive behavior that involves unwanted, negative actions.
- Bullying involves a pattern of intentional behavior repeated over time.
- Bullying involves an imbalance of power or strength.
Bullying is NOT an honest mistake, an
isolated incident, a lapse in judgment or a conflict between friends. Friends are going to disagree, argue and possibly say unkind things. This does not constitute bullying behavior. We must teach healthy ways to address disagreements, conflicts and hurt feelings. It is important for teenagers to understand that conflict is normal and healthy in relationships and should be handled respectfully. Learning to handle conflict appropriately maintains the integrity of the relationship. When addressing conflict appropriately it allows students the opportunity to discuss a situation instead of trying to hurt the other person.
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
What should parents of teenagers know, do, and say about bullying? The advice in this guide will help you and your high schooler discuss and deal with this challenging
Click on the link below for additional information to make an anonymous report to us at any time throughout the school year for not only bullying, but intimidation, harassment, weapons or drugs.
