Just as we have common character traits at all elementary schools, all BCSC elementary students also learn how to solve conflicts using Kelso's Choice.
The philosophy behind Kelso's Choice is that students are smart enough and strong enough to solve
small problems on their own.
For big problems, students should tell an adult they trust.
For small problems, students will be asked to try at least 2 of Kelso's Choices before going to an adult.
Kelso the Frog is the program's mascot.
The 9 options for solving small problems include: · Go to another game · Talk it out · Make a deal · Apologize · Walk away · Wait and cool off · Share and take turns · Ignore it · Tell them to stop Having 9 choices gives students many options when trying to solve problems, since some choices will work better than others depending on the situation. Students will be encouraged to try using Kelso's Choice at home and other places they go, too! Bully Prevention at Eagle Elementary School This past week Mrs. Rose reviewed bully prevention with all Eagle students. Research has shown that bullying can have significant short-term and long-term effects on kids' health, so we take our responsibility seriously when we teach students how to handle bullying if it would happen to them and the importance of their role in preventing bullying altogether. Our rules to prevent bullying state that: · We will not bully others. · We help students who are bullied · We will include students who are easily left out. · When we know somebody is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home |
The 15th Annual Yankee Candle fundraiser for the Brownsburg Education Foundation (BEF) is around the corner. On Friday, September 11th, each student will receive a catalog to share with family and friends.
The best and easiest way to order is online and you will find the instructions for sending the link for online ordering to your family and friends in the packet. Online orders will be delivered directly to the one ordering by mail in 2-3 weeks. If the paper order form is used, the order form and money need to be returned by September 28th to Reagan. You will have to pick up and distribute anything ordered using the paper order form on November 10th & 11th at the BCSC Maintenance Facility at 550 Airport Road. Proceeds from this fundraiser go toward teacher educational grants and student scholarships that are given out each year by the BEF whose mission is to encourage and support creativity, innovation, and excellence that will enhance the educational community of the Brownsburg Community School Corporation.
