January 17th- No School - Teacher In-service

On Monday, January 17th, students do not have school.  The teaching staff at the Cavalier Public School will be taking in a professional development day.  Mary Helen Pelton will be providing a presentation about bullies, victims and bystanders.
In the seminar we will
*acquire sufficient quality knowledge and skills in working with bullies, victims, and bystanders;
*provide leadership to bring about a cultural change that says "NO" to violence of any kind; and
*reduce bullying and provide a positive school environment where all students can learn and staff can teach.

In March students will be provided with a in school residency with the CLIMB Theater Group from Minneapolis.  They will be addressing bullying with students and teach them skills to deal with the various situations that arise from bullying and how to prevent and stand up for themselves in those situations.

We encourage all students to be respectful to each other at our school.  We do our best to keep the students learning environment inviting, safe, and comfortable.
