Important
I've
encouraged students to come talk to me and share social issues they notice at
school. I've been able to help mediate many conflicts, but this can only happen
with student participation. I have an Anonymous mailbox, and I respect
confidentiality. I also encourage family members to shoot me an email or give a
call if they have any concerns. This is a critical time period in your
student's development as they learn how to navigate relationships with their
peers successfully. I look forward to helping!
I
also shared with students that tattling is to get someone in trouble and
reporting is about keeping someone safe. Safety is paramount to our school
atmosphere and it's important students take resposibility for reporting when
necessary.
