📢 October is National Bullying Prevention Month! Let's raise awareness about the impact bullying can have on a student's education, physical and emotional health, safety, and well-being. 😔 The emotional scars can last a lifetime, which is why it's important to work together to create kinder, more inclusive, and accepting communities for all students. 👫
If you see something, say something. We encourage students, families and community members to speak up through our Safe Schools system: http://1376.alert1.us/
🧠 October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month.
Learning disabilities can be caused by genetic and neurobiological factors that affect cognitive processes related to learning, such as reading, writing, math, organization, time planning, abstract reasoning, memory, and attention.
Learning disabilities can impact an individual's life beyond academics, affecting relationships and work. While learning disabilities are often diagnosed during the school years, some individuals may not receive an evaluation until post-secondary education or adulthood.
It's important to note that learning disabilities should not be confused with other disabilities or disadvantages.
People with learning disabilities are often of average or above-average intelligence, but may struggle to demonstrate expected skills. Although learning disabilities are lifelong challenges, appropriate support and intervention can help individuals achieve success in various areas of life.

Happy National Good Neighbor Day! Today is the perfect opportunity for students, staff and families to reflect on the importance of community and the positive impact that our neighbors have on our lives.
The Sedro-Woolley community truly understands that being a good neighbor isn't just about being friendly — it's about being there for one another in times of need.
📚👩🎓👨🎓🏫💼 Did you know that patterns of absenteeism often start in elementary school? Research shows that 11% of elementary students miss 18 or more days, with one in ten kindergarten and first grade students missing a month of school each year due to absences. This can have a significant impact on a child's education. 83% of students who are chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade cannot read on-level by third grade, and these students are 4x more likely to drop out.
