National Bullying Prevention Month

National Bullying Prevention Month - October

National Bullying Prevention Month October is National Bullying Prevention Month. To help develop a common understanding of Bullying, below is the FCPS definition. 

Bullying in Students Rights and Responsibilities is defined as: “Any aggressive and unwanted behavior that is intended to harm, intimidate, or humiliate the victim; involves a real or perceived power imbalance between the aggressor or aggressors and victim; and is repeated over time or causes severe emotional trauma. “Bullying” includes cyberbullying. “Bullying” does not include ordinary teasing, horseplay, argument, or peer conflict.”

For more information on how FCPS handles a bullying situation please visit the FCPS Bullying Prevention and Intervention webpage. Our goal is to ensure all students feel safe and welcome at school. If you have questions and/or concerns about something that is going on at school, please contact the front office so that they can support you and most importantly your student.  

Spanish:

Mes Nacional de la Prevención del Acoso “Bullying” Octubre es el Mes Nacional de la Prevención del Acoso "Bullying". Para poder desarrollar un entendimiento común del "Bullying", a continuación se encuentra la definición de FCPS. 

 

El Acoso en los Derechos y Responsabilidades de los Estudiantes se define como:  "Cualquier comportamiento agresivo y no deseado que tiene la intención de dañar, intimidar, o humillar a la víctima; involucra un verdadero o percibido desequilibrio de poder entre el agresor o agresores y la víctima; y se repite en el tiempo o causa trauma emocional severo. El "Bullying" incluye el ciberacoso. "Bullying" no incluye burlas ordinarias, payasadas, discusiones o conflictos entre compañeros".

 

Para más información sobre cómo FCPS maneja una situación de bullying por favor visite la página web de FCPS de Prevención e Intervención de Bullying. Nuestra meta es asegurar que todos los estudiantes se sientan seguros y bienvenidos en la escuela. Si usted tiene preguntas y/o preocupaciones acerca de algo que está sucediendo en la escuela, por favor póngase en contacto con la oficina para que puedan apoyarlo y lo más importante a su estudiante.

Korean: 전국 학교 폭력 예방의

10월은 전국 학교 폭력(학폭) 예방의 달입니다. 아래는 괴롭힘에 대한 일반적인 이해를 돕고자 하는 FCPS의 정의입니다. 

 

학생의 권리와 책임에 대한 괴롭힘은 다음과 같이 정의됩니다 : “피해자를 해치거나 협박하거나 모욕하기 위한 공격적이고 원치 않는 행동; 가해자 또는 가해자와 피해자 사이의 실제 또는 암묵적 힘의 불균형이 포함됩니다; 반복적이거나 지속적일 때 또는 심리적으로 극심한 트라우마를 불러일으켰을 경우. “학폭”은 온라인 왕따도 포함됩니다. “학폭”은 일반적인 장난, 말장난, 말다툼, 또는 또래 갈등이 해당하지 않습니다.

FCPS가 어떻게 학교폭력을 처리하는지에 대한 관련된 상세 정보는 FCPS 학폭예방 웹사이트에서 보실 수 있습니다. 우리의 목표는 모든 학생이 학교에서 안전하고 환영받을 수 있도록 하는 것입니다. 학교에서 일어나는 일에 대해 질문 또는 우려 사항이 있으시면 학교의 메인 오피스에 연락하여 귀하와 더불어 가장 중요한 학생을 지원할 수 있도록 하십시오.

Becca Hitchings!!

FCPS CARES submission:

Mrs. Hitchings has gone above and beyond in teaching all her Kindergarten students. Her loving and compassionate nature has really helped her students successfully transition to a new school environment, along with identifying the individual learning needs of each student. Her enthusiasm in creating weekly newsletters and updates to parents on how their child is doing at school is exceptional. She is always putting her best efforts into teaching her students and involving parents in their child's school life; it really shows through on the newsletters she sends out; sometimes they are even emailed on weekends. Her hard work and dedication deserve much recognition and applause.

Pickup Patrol

Use PickUp Patrol to report absences

In emergencies, email or call the front office 

This is a reminder to put your students' absence, arriving late, or leaving school early in Pickup Patrol (PUP). All default plans should be up to date. Make sure you change the default plan anytime you change your students' permanent dismissal. Emails and phone calls are no longer encouraged, except for emergencies. When you enter a change in PUP, it goes directly to your child’s teacher as well as our front office staff. Please remember to provide a reason for the absence, late arrival or early dismissal. Changes must be entered on PUP by 2:30pm each day. If you need assistance setting up your PickUp Patrol account, please reach out to Adriana Barreto at 703-633-6400 or aabarreto@fcps.edu.
