February Newsletter

February Updates

At Stuart Baker ES, we are always working on developing positive relationships to ensure a warm, welcoming school community for everyone.  This month, during our second Kindness Week (Feb. 24-27) our students will be learning about friendships, respect and how to respond to social conflicts.  We will be providing all students with explicit instruction on the difference between teasing, social conflicts, mean moments and bullying, and the best ways to respond to any of these situations.  To start some conversations at home, we have provided some resources on the back of this newsletter as well as a Bingo Challenge!

On February 26, we will be recognizing Pink Shirt Day – all staff and students are invited to wear pink to support anti-bullying.
