The School District of Sheboygan Falls will be participating in Bully
Prevention Awareness Month in October. At the middle school, teachers will
be conducting anti-bullying conversations and activities in their
classes. Every
day in October, we will include a quote encouraging students to be
accepting and kind to others in an effort to make Falls a safer, more
welcoming community for all. On Wednesdays in October, teachers will wear
black to represent a “blacking out” of bullying from our schools. Students
will have the opportunity to dress in black or to participate in the
Wednesday dress theme. Parents, please join us in celebrating Bully
Prevention Awareness month by encouraging your children to follow the
Falcon Way by being respectful and accepting of everyone!
Wednesday Oct. 7th: Falls is a Safe Place to be Yourself (dress different
or wear mismatched clothes)
Wednesday Oct. 14th: No Sweat, We Support Each Other (wear sweatpants &
sweatshirts)
Wednesday Oct. 21st: Be a Team Player by Being Kind to Everybody (wear your
favorite team clothes)
Wednesday Oct. 28th: Give Peace a Chance (wear “sixties clothes”- tie-day &

interested in joining one of the two groups, please let me know by Monday,
September 28. Groups will begin the week of October 5 and run through the

*Study Skill Strategies Group*
Life in middle school can be busy. Changing classes, coping with different
teachers’ styles & rules, following a schedule that can be confusing and
getting homework done are all a part of your daily life. This group will
offer tips, techniques and strategies to help school be more manageable.
Topics may include: organization skills, listening & taking notes, tips on
reading & writing, study techniques and time management.
*Teen Success Group*
How do you define success? Is it getting good grades? Having lots of
friends? Making a particular athletic team? No matter what your vision of
success, there are certain personal qualities and skills that can help make
you successful. Topics may include: health & fitness, intrapersonal
skills, friendships, goal setting, decision making, conflict management and
self-determination.

School bus safety tips from your nurses
· Wait for the bus, with no horsing around, to stop before
approaching it from the curb.
· Do not move around on the bus.
· Check to see that no other traffic is coming before crossing the
street.
· Make sure you walk where you can see the bus driver (which means
the driver will be able to see you, too).
