WE HAVE TRAINED PEER MEDIATORS!
Last week students from the Student Climate Team were trained to conduct peer mediation for students who are in conflict with one another. One of our peer mediators already had a session with groups of students and did a great job! The goal of having peer mediators is to create an atmosphere in our school where both sides win and one party doesn't feel as if they get unfairly treated or penalized.
Please see Mr. Robarge in E110 (School Success) if you need help resolving an issue. Peer mediators don't take sides or place blame on anyone.

FOOD SERVICE ~ UPDATE
Michigan School Meals is a fantastic program to support our students with a free complete breakfast and complete lunch, each full school day. With that program, in line with updated USDA federal guidelines, meals must be served in a group setting during meal service. Given these requirements, only breakfast will be served on ½ days of instruction.
It is our honor to serve the students of APS and appreciate their support of their families

HOW TO REPORT THREATS/CONCERNS
HOW TO REPORT THREATS/CONCERNS
OK2SAY is the student safety program which allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, and schools. It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment.
PEER MEDIATION-WANT TO BE INVOLVED?
AHS is currently looking for additional peer mediators to replace the students who have graduated last year. I will be training several more students within the next week, but if you are interested in being involved with this program please stop in to see Mr. Robarge in Room E110 (School Success), or you can email me at robargeb@alpenaschools.com. Peer mediation is a voluntary process where students are trained as a neutral 3rd party to help students who are in conflict to better understand one another, and to come to a mutual agreement. They do not take sides or place blame on anyone.
