Ms Mena (pronounced MEENA), Mayetta's own Therapy Dog, recently visited every classroom and over 700 kids. Everyone seemed excited to welcome our new "student" to school!
Mena and I are a Certified Therapy Dog team through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs and will be on campus 2 days a week. Her first day "on the job" will be Friday, October 21st. Students and staff will then be allowed to enjoy the benefits of having a Therapy Dog at school by petting or getting a "doggy hug" from her. Letters were sent home with students last week asking parents to inform us if their child has allergies to dogs. If your child has allergies to dogs and you have NOT returned a signed form, please do so as soon as possible.
We're excited to see this program grow and are thrilled that our students and staff have the opportunity to participate in such a unique way to connect and support wellness.
Please contact our School Counselor, Diane Weston, with any questions or to request an allergy form.
October is National Bullying Prevention Month
We take bullying seriously at Maryetta and ALL reports will be investigated. Safety is our primary concern and we want to make sure that all students feel safe when they are at school.
However there are a few things that parents and caregivers need to know. The simple definition of bullying is:
"When someone hurts your body, your feelings or your stuff. The bully does it on purpose to be mean and won't stop after they've been told to stop."
Children look at bullying differently depending upon their age. The young child often looks at bullying when they don't get something that they want. For example, if another child doesn't want to share a toy with them, they might call them a "bully". For the older child being a "bully" might mean that someone is saving a seat for a friend and won't let them sit there. Neither of these situations meet the true definition of "bullying" but they could be problems that might need adult intervention.
The most important thing to let your child know about bullying is that they MUST TELL SOMEONE. We often get reports from families informing us that their child is being bullied only to find out that their child has never told anyone at school.
Students and parents have several ways to report bulling.
* Anonymously report using the Stop It app. Any parent or student who has downloaded the app on their smart phone can make a report at anytime. These reports can be anonymous and they are sent immediately to our administration and select members of the counseling team (CARE).
* Report bullying using the online report form on Maryetta's website
* Tell your child's teacher, administrator or a member of the CARE team.
* Students can submit a written report using one of several CARE boxes located
in the school.
We understand that many times students are afraid to report bullying and we will never release a reporters name to anyone. A student's safety is our number one concern so we will do all we can to ensure their anonymity in all reports.
If you have concerns about bullying, please contact a member of our CARE team, your child's teacher or Administrator.
