I will need to know how the work is getting home.

9. Parent Teacher Conferences Information regarding conferences is not available at this time. Look for future correspondence from myself or the school regarding November conferences.

10. Olweus and Character Education We instill respect and caring for one another in school, through the use of Character Education. To reinforce the importance of these values, our school has implemented a bullying prevention program called OLWEUS.

This program gives students the tools they need to help prevent bullying, as well as ways to get help for themselves, or others, if they witness or experience bullying.
