We had a visit from our local police officer today. The class has not been friendly to each other this year. They say that there is a history of them being unfriendly to each other. She spoke with them about working together and respecting each other even if they do not like each other just like in the real world. They are not to make threats to each other in words, writing, or in pictures. The students have an assignment to write a paragraph about what it means to respect each other. She will collect their assignment Friday.The visit ended on a positive note along with a group photo. The students responded positively; however, some were aware of the seriousness of the topic. Please speak with your children about respecting each other's differences even if they do not like them or agree with them. Links are provided below to assist with the topic. Thank you for your cooperation and support.
