• During the week of November 12, 2013, the middle school counselors will be offering a program about technology safety and use of cellular phones, and computers in preventing various forms of harassment and sexting. The counselors will be hosting Mr. Josh Puhls, from REACH Counseling Services. Mr Puhls will be addressing our 7th grade students and instructing them about the dangers and increasing prevalence of “sexting.” Students will be guided in learning the personal, civil and potentially criminal consequences of inappropriate behaviors, but more importantly students will be learning strategies to cope and deal with any form of cyberbullying/harassment. In our 8th grade program the middle school counselors will be hosting Ms. Emily Dery, Christine Ann Center. Ms. Dery will be presenting information about healthy and unhealthy relationships. Students will learn about the warning signs of potentially abusive relationships and how to protect against teen dating violence. If you do not want your student to participate in his/her grade level program, please contact the Guidance Office at 751-6850 ext. 123. Shattuck Counselors: Bill Richardson (A-Ha), Jamie Lasee (He-O), Tracee Lemke-Hildreth (P-Z) • Shattuck Middle School will be giving the WKCE test to all seventh and eighth graders on November 6 and 7 and again to only eighth graders on November 8.
