Information for Teachers and Staff

It’s National Bullying Prevention Month!
Every October, schools and organizations across the country join STOMP out Bullying in observing National Bullying Prevention Month.  The goal: encourage communities to work together to stop bullying and cyber bullying by increasing awareness of the prevalence and impact of bullying on all children of all ages.
Please share the activities listed below with your students for this week.

RISE Church will be hosting Harvest Night “Trunk or Treat” on Halloween.  If any teachers or groups would like to participate and decorate a trunk, here is the link for you to sign up. It would be an added bonus for many of the children to see their teachers on this special night!  More details are on the form linked below.

Link:

Please remind students about leaving all toys and contraband items at home.  Especially with Halloween coming up, students may have toy items that are not appropriate for school.  Also, we thank you for helping to monitor your students bathroom use during instructional time.

Innovation Grant 2020 applications will be accepted until Nov. 20. These grants are being awarded to support teachers designing innovative educational projects for students. It is based on this year’s theme, “Ideas That Transform," with alignment to the Five Promises — Hawaiʻi, Equity, School Design, Empowerment, and of course, Innovation! Educators are encouraged to apply here: bit.ly/myinnovationgrant2020.

Don’t forget to turn in your updated ELL forms.  Thank you!

Have a great week!
