Dear Parents,

In this week’s Second Step lessons, your child will identify signs of stress, situations that can cause stressful feelings, and strategies they can use to manage stressful feelings. They will also understand the difference between bullying and joking around. That joking can escalate and become bullying. Students who understand when joking becomes bullying can reduce their negative impacts on others. Also, your child will learn how to recognize the difference between sexual harassment and flirting so they can make informed decisions about how to respond.

Try This. Ask your child what their body feels like when they are stressed and what causes the stress they feel. You could share your own experiences with stress and how you manage it. You could also remind your child that it is important to tell you if they experience sexual harassment. If you feel comfortable doing so, share an example of sexual harassment you or another person has experienced and how you or the other person dealt with it.

Is your child struggling with homework/missing assignments?

Here's how we can help:

• Students can attend after school homework help on:

Mondays and Thursdays from 2:40 p.m. - 3:40 p.m.

• Doors open for breakfast at 7:30 a.m.
• School starts at 7:50 a.m.
• Attendance is a priority for students and staff.
• If your child is out sick, please call 708-753-4700 press 1 for Attendance.
• Please remind your student to be on time to each class.
• Please remind your child to sign up for the activity bus on their Google Classroom daily.

If your student is showing any flu or COVID-like symptoms, please keep them home from school and notify the nurse. Students should be kept home if he/she has:

1. Fever more than 100 degrees within the last 24 hours (must be fever free without medications)
2. Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours.
3. Continuous coughing not relieved with cough medicine.

In case of an emergency, please ensure that you are updating the emergency contact numbers.

If your child has allergies, asthma, or will be needing to take medication(s) at school, please print off the necessary forms under the ‘Parent Resource’ tab.
