Bullying in Salmon Schools

Recent letters published in the Salmon Recorder Herald would lead some to believe bullying is out of control in our schools. On the contrary! These two letters represent two cases we are working through with students, parents and law enforcement. I appreciate the manner in which the large majority of our students manage their own behavior. This is a positive reflection on you, their parents!

One of the above situations involved "cyber bullying" between students. The students used phone texting and social networking (Facebook, YouTube, etc.) to harass their victims. Please take a moment and review your expectations with your children for appropriate use of text and computer communication.

A big thanks to two of our high school students who stepped forward and submitted letters themselves celebrating the positive atmosphere in the high school.
