FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK: PRACTICING KINDNESS AND JUSTICE AND EXTINGUISHING BULLYING BEHAVIORS This month we are working on social emotional development and problem solving. In class meetings, teachers are exploring with students what it means to behave in a kind and fair manner. Students are thinking about things they can do each day that advance kindness and justice and are trying to do at least one thing a day. We do this as part of our participation in the Kindness and Justice Challenge each year in honor of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It’s also a time when review our school rules on how we solve conflict and treat others. We use Cool Tools and Caring School Communities programs to help children solve problems with classmates. And like all SMMUSD elementary schools, Edison uses the Olweus Anti-Bullying Program as one of our tools to help stop bullying behaviors. Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending himself or herself. While we often think of bullying as being physical, it has many forms and student surveys indicate that verbal bullying and social exclusion or isolation have been the more prevalent forms of bullying behaviors used on our campus. While bullying behaviors are not widespread on our campus, any incident of bullying is too many. Bullying hurts everyone – the student who is being picked on, children who witness bullying behaviors, and the child who bullies. Using the tools in the Olweus program, we work to support children who are bullied, help bystanders become upstanders, promote inclusion and not exclusion and change the behaviors of children who bully. Our anti-bullying pledge includes these four parts:  We will not bully others  We will try to help students who are bullied.  We will try to include students who are left out.  If we know that somebody is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home. Recently we’ve noticed an up-tick in students using profanity and name-calling and we’d like to ask that you help us shut this down. Please let your children know that they shouldn’t be using any language at school that they wouldn’t be proud to use in front of their parents or grandparents, teachers or principal. When children direct profane insults against their peers, it is a bullying behavior and is not tolerated at school. Thank you for your support as we work to make our school climate safe and nurturing for ALL students. On a personal note, I was away on bereavement leave in early January because my mother lost her long battle with lung disease. Our staff did a wonderful job in my absence. I want to thank you for the many messages of comfort and support. This truly is a caring school community. -- Lori January 18-February 15

ESTRATEGIAS DE COMUNICACIÓN ENTRE PADRES E HIJOS - ¿A veces desea poder comunicarse mejor con su hijo/a? El Programa de Funciones Escolares de UCLA está ofreciendo un taller el miércoles, 1 de febrero a las 8:30 am en el salón 206 para discutir estrategias efectivas de comunicación.

TERMINANDO EL 1º SEMESTRE Y PREPARANDO REPORTES DE PROGRESO - Ustedes tal vez notarán que algunos maestros estarán ausentes en las siguientes semanas mientras los maestros administran y califican asesoramientos de lectura, escritura y matemáticas para examinar el progreso estudiantil. Los reportes de progreso se mandarán al hogar el viernes, 10 de febrero.

problemas. En las reuniones de las clases, los maestros están explorando con los estudiantes lo que significa comportarse en una manera bondadosa y justa. Los estudiantes están pensando sobre cosas que pueden hacer cada día que avancen bondad y justicia y están tratando de hacer por lo menos una cosa por día. Hacemos esto como parte de nuestra participación en el Reto de Bondad y Justicia cada año en honor a la vida y trabajo de Dr. Martín Luther King, Hijo. También es un tiempo cuando repasamos nuestras reglas de la escuela sobre cómo resolvemos conflictos y tratamos a los demás. Usamos los programas Herramientas Chéveres y Comunidades Cariñosas Escolares para ayudar a los niños a resolver problemas con sus compañeros. Y como todas las escuelas primarias de SMMUSD, Edison usa Olweus el Programa En Contra de Intimidación como una de nuestras herramientas para ayudar a detener comportamientos de acoso e intimidación. Intimidación es cuando alguien repetidamente y a propósito dice o hace cosas malas o que lastiman a otra persona a quien se le hace difícil defenderse. Aunque a veces pensamos de la intimidación o acoso como algo físico, tiene muchas formas y las encuestas de los estudiantes indican que la intimidación verbal y exclusión social o aislación han sido maneras más prevalentes de comportamientos de intimidación en nuestra escuela, cualquier incidente de intimidación es demasiado. Intimidación lastima a todos – el estudiante que es molestado, los niños quienes observan comportamientos de intimidación, y el niño/a acosando. Usando las herramientas en el programa Olweus, trabajamos para apoyar a los niños quienes son intimidados, apoyar a los espectadores a ser defensores, promover inclusión y no exclusión y cambiar los comportamientos de los niños quienes acosan o intimidan. Nuestra promesa en contra de la intimidación incluye estas cuatro partes:  No intimidaremos a otros  Trataremos de ayudar a estudiantes acosados/intimidados.  Trataremos de incluir a los estudiantes excluidos.  Si sabemos alguien es acosado/intimidado, le contaremos a un adulto en la escuela y a un adulto en el hogar Reciente hemos notado una elevación en estudiantes usando profanidad e insultos y nos gustaría que ustedes nos ayuden apagar esto. Por favor avísenles a sus hijos que no debe usar cualquier lenguaje en la escuela que no les daría orgullo usar en frente de sus padres o abuelos, maestros o directora. Cuando lo niños dirigen insultos profanos en contra de sus compañeros, es comportamiento acosador/intimidante y no es tolerado en la escuela. Gracias por su apoyo mientras trabajamos para hacer a nuestro clima escolar seguro y cariñoso para TODOS nuestros estudiantes. En una nota persona, estuve fuera en luto a principios de enero porque mi mamá perdió su batalla larga con una enfermedad pulmonar. Nuestro personal hizo un trabajo maravilloso en mi ausencia. Quiero darles las gracias por todos los mensajes de consuelo y apoyo. Esta es realmente una comunidad escolar cariñosa. - Lori
