Weekend Update January 31, 2020

Community Oriented Drug Education (CODE) Assembly 
Officer Brand, of the Camillus Police Department, visited Stonehedge-Blue for our third CODE assembly of the year on Thursday.  She spoke on different topics at each grade level.

Kindergarten – The focus for this presentation was on self esteem and how each one of them is special. The importance of reporting certain situations to trusted adults was discussed. 

First Grade – The theme of the assembly was celebrating our differences.  Accepting ourselves as we are, and others as they are, is important.

Second Grade – The theme of the presentation was learning about problem solving skills.  Officer Brand demonstrated a conflict and how to properly resolve it by role playing a situation involving a conflict over a pizza.


Bus Expectations
Reviewing behavioral expectations for while at school and on the bus is never a bad idea.  The students will be getting a refresher on these expectations while in the classroom but it would be helpful if you could also review the bus expectations while at home.  We talk about how it is important to "Be Respectful. Be Responsible. Be Safe."

Be Respectful:

  • Listen to and follow the bus driver’s directions at all times.
  • Greet the driver when getting on the bus.
  • Be kind to everyone around you.
  • Use a level 2 voice.

Be Responsible:

  • When an adult is talking to the children and bus driver, it is important to listen and respond.
  • Sit in your assigned seat at all times (even after others have gotten off the bus).
  • Watch for your stop.
  • Leave the bus with all of your belongings.

Be Safe:

  • Stay seated at all times, until the bus is at your stop.
  • Keep your hands and feet in your seat and out of the aisle.
  • Remember to use your voice level 2, unless the bus driver or adult is talking and then use a level 0 voice
  • Leave food, drink, and electronics in your backpack during your bus ride.
  • Follow directions given by the adults.
