Message from the Principal 

Cory Families, 

Thank you to all the parents that were able to join us for our Bullying Prevention Night, last night. Attached below are the resources and slides that were discussed. We appreciate your continued partnership to prevent bullying! 

Bullying Prevention Presentation 

Parent Facing Restorative Justice Toolbox 

Social Media can play a large role in student relationships. Parents can take the pledge to delay Social Media until 8th grade with Wait Until 8th 

Each month Cory will focus on four words as a whole school. Our hope is you will partner with us and attempt to use these words in your life outside of school. Students will be able to share when they heard or used the words each month by writing about it and placing it in the bucket outside room 204. 

     November’s vocabulary words are:

     cornucopia, eleemosynary, crepuscular, sublime

Have a wonderful long weekend! We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday.
