Bullying Prevention Awareness Day is Monday, October 7. Please encourage your students to wear orange that day. And, if possible, talk to them about bullying. See below for information on bullying:
*Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance.--
*Bullying comes in many forms, including, verbal, physical, social, cyber bullying, racial, religious, sexual, and disability.
*Encourage students to stand up to a bully and tell them to leave them alone..."I don't like what you are doing!"
*We encourage our students to be upstanders - if they see bullying going on, they need to stand up to the bully and let them know this is wrong and not tolerated at RES.
*A bystander is someone who just "stands by" and allows bullying to go on without standing up to the bully.

We would like to honor our RISD principals for National Principals Month!
Thanks to Mrs. English, Mr. Alsup, Mr. Wilson, and Mrs. Milton for all you do to support and help our staff and students!
