If a cap and gown was ordered, Mrs. Harp has them. They are slowly being passed out to students.

If your student is in need of borrowing a cap/gown or need assistance on the dress code for graduation, they need to reach out to Mrs. Stroud or Mrs. Harp. They have resources!

Warning Signs a Child Is Being Cyberbullied or Is Cyberbullying

Many of the warning signs that cyberbullying is occurring happen around a child’s use of their device. Since children spend a lot of time on their devices, increases or decreases in use may be less noticeable. It is important to pay attention when a child exhibits sudden changes in digital and social behavior. March's Prevention playbook has warning signs and resources if you suspect cyberbullying.
