CHILD STUDY TEAMS AND INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT TEAMS

Students in need of additional support are initially assisted through child study or instructional support teams. Parents are encouraged to be active members of these teams. Meetings are held to analyze students’ learning difficulties and to develop strategies to help students meet grade level expectations as well as succeed in their regular education classes.

PARENT VOLUNTEERS

Joe Hall Elementary is always looking for parent volunteers. Parents are the key to our success! The ongoing needs of our children present numerous opportunities for additional assistance in the classroom and in out of classroom experiences such as field trips.

For the safety and well being of the children, parents are advised not to bring additional siblings when volunteering in the school. In addition, parents will not be allowed to volunteer in their child's classroom.

BULLYING IN SCHOOL

Bullying is a national problem.

Bullying happens whenever someone's body, property or feelings are hurt or threatened and the other person won't stop what they are doing when asked. It may be physical, verbal, emotional, or sexual. Boys and girls can both be bullies - gender is not the issue. Sometimes it's one on one bullying sometimes it's in a gang. But it's all about trying to have power over someone else. And no one likes to feel intimidated or powerless!

It is estimated that more than 160,000 children stay home from school everyday because they are afraid of being bullied.

Bullying behavior is learned - from someone else. The child who bullies is usually disconnected from their family, not just from classmates. Research shows that many children who were once victims of bullying become bullies themselves. They begin to copy the bullying behaviors, often going to extreme measures such as fighting and even shooting.

This negative behavior has to stop. Children cannot learn in schools when they have a conflict with a classmate or feel threatened by a bully in school. For more information about bullying and how to deal with bullying please click on the following link.
