Dear Beresford families,

In December, the San Mateo-Foster City School District conducted an optional and anonymous survey of all3rd _ S th grade students on the subject of bullying. The goal of the survey was to gain a better understanding of ourstudents' perspective on bullying here at school. I have received the results of the survey for our school,discussed them with the staff, and summarized them below.We have many things to celebrate and we believe that is based on our dedication to the teaching of theLifeskills. According to the survey, most students do not feel that bullying is pervasive at Beresford, andspecifically, it is rare to find students who feel bullied because of their skin color, ethnicity, or country of origin.The bullying that does happen is on the playground or on the bus, which is to be expected as thoseenvironments are less structured than the classroom.

We saw that the main areas of concern are: understanding the term "bully" and knowing what one should dowhen they see it happening, especially on the playground.While our results were positive, we are always striving to make our school better and safer for each student sowe will be adding some things to our Lifeskills curriculum schoolwide. The students will be given anothersurvey at the end of the year and we will see if our efforts have made an impact. Based on this data and our staffdiscussions, we will do the following this year:

Each class will discuss and define "a bully", as it appropriate to their grade level; Each class will read and discuss the book, One, by Kathryn Otoshi, which speaks to the power of one person's

impact on others; Each class will discuss the subject of bullying in their Class Meetings and role play what someone should do

when they see behaviors that are hurtful; Our March Lifeskills Assembly will highlight our Peace Makers program and what students should do on theplayground to ensure a safe environment for all

At home, you can support our work by following up on the conversations we are having at schooL In addition, Iam pleased to announce that our PTA Meeting on April 20th will be on the topic of bullying-how to preventit and what to do to empower your child. Our speaker will be Ed Canda, a counselor at Hillsdale High Schooland a former counselor at HOTTallElementary SchooL Please save the date and look for more details in the nextfew weeks.Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this important matter further.Thank you for your ongoing support in making Beresford a safe place for all students to learn and grow!Alicia Heneghan
