We Need Your Help!

We are still seeing a considerable amount of horseplay around campus - "She poked me in the ribs" - "He kicked the back of my knee while I was standing in line" - "He grabbed the back of my neck" and more. Please, please, please ... address this with your children. Tell them to keep their hands and feet to themselves, and, if they see something, they need to tell an adult. We cannot stop it if we don't hear about it. I frequently hear from parents, "My child said it's been happening for months." We cannot stop it if we don't hear about it. Please encourage them to tell an adult as soon as something happens.
