COUNSELORS CORNER
~Sandy Husted~
Many people think bullying is something only boys do. This may be because boys tend to bully in obvious ways, such as pushing or shoving. The reality is, girls bully too. Girls tend to bully through relational aggression. Relational aggression is described as any behavior that is intended to harm someone by damaging or manipulating relationships with others (Crick & Grotpeter, 1995). While relational aggression can take many forms, some of the methods include: Exclusion Ignoring Malicious gossip or rumors Taunts and insults Intimidation Mind games- examples include: o Telling the individual no one will like her if she doesnt go along with something o Promising the individual friendship or inclusion if she does go along with something o Switching between acting like a friend and an enemy Cyberbullying this is using a computer, cell phone or other technology to bully.

MESSAGE FROM MRS. KENNAUGH

Our Beagle staff had a productive professional development session last Friday. We spent time in the morning looking at data, learning new PBIS strategies, and refining our current PBIS practices. Grade level teams met in the afternoon to focus on curriculum and assessment. It was a beneficial day for continued professional learning. Because being present for instruction is so crucial to student learning, part of our focus this year is to improve student attendance and lessen tardies in our school. Each month, students will be rewarded for meeting our attendance expectations; tardies are included in the goal. We will also be recognizing students who have made improvements in their attendance or tardies. Please partner with us to ensure your student(s) get to school on time and attend regularly.

Halloween Party/Parade Info/Guidelines

This years celebration is scheduled for Thursday, October 31. This is a full day of school. Since the first half of the day is regular class time, please dress your child in such a manner so he/she is able to fully participate in classroom activities. The afternoon festivities will begin with the all-school parade that begins at 2:00 p.m. Parents and family members are invited to watch the parade around the track and in the gym since they are both part of the parade route. Please do not block the hallways, as our students parade through the hallways. The parties will be held right after the parade, followed by an all-school recess from 3:05-3:35. Here are some guidelines we would like you to consider when choosing a school-appropriate costume. We believe these will help to promote a fun, positive climate to the afternoons activities. Refrain from gory or excessively scary costumes. Costumes promoting violence, blood, indecency or involving weapons are not allowed. Be original, creative and/or funny. Hair color may be worn to school that day, but will not be applied a school. Masks may be worn, but make-up is discouraged due to the time and assistance needed to apply it.

Help prevent bullying and its effects. All girls can benefit when parents: Help build self-esteem. o Let your daughter know that her opinions, strengths and abilities are unique and valuable. Find activities that allow her to show her strengths. Stay connected o Spend quality time together and keep lines of communication open. Engage them in healthy activities o This can help girls meet friends with similar interests, further develop interests and skills, and feel good about themselves. Monitor computer and cell phone use-a lot of bullying happens online. It can also happen in text messaging. Help them get along o Teach your daughter that it is OK to have differences, and that everyone deserves respect o To solve conflicts peacefully o To care for others
