Did you miss Coffee with the Principal last week? Don't worry! Mrs. Williams sent an email with the presentation and handouts to all Carnelian families. This month's topic was PBIS and Bully Prevention lessons and reporting procedures. October is Bully Prevention Month and our students will be learning the definition of bullying and what they can do to respond and help prevent it. Our school counselor, Ms. Moreno also helped create a student video so that we can hear from our Cardinal students on the topic of bullying. There is also a Family Newsletter on Bully Prevention so that the discussion can continue at home as well.
