The Knox Positive Reward Program
The Knox Faculty & Staff is providing an opportunity for
those students in Knox who demonstrate positive and
appropriate behavior to receive special rewards. ALL
Knox students are eligible to receive a positive reward,
but it must be earned. Ways to earn a positive reward
include demonstrating good character, following all
school rules, being helpful to classmates and teachers,
and showing that you care about our school.
So that the faculty and staff can provide you with
rewards that YOU will like, please take a moment to
complete this
Positive Reward Program survey. Remember students,
this is YOUR program; please tell us how you would like
to be rewarded!
Student Perception Questionnaire
As a Title I
school, Knox is gathering information from students (as
well as parents, teachers, administrators and support
staff) on how they feel about the school, to help target
areas for improvement. If you are a student who would
like to share your opinion, please take a moment to
complete this
Student Perception Questionnaire.
Banishing
Bullies
All
students are encouraged to report any incident of
bullying. They may talk to any trusted adult in the
school, or anonymously submit a bully reporting form,
available in the Guidance Office. Students may report
for themselves, or out of concern and compassion for
someone else who is a target of bullying. One of the
questions on the form is “Who are you worried about?”
When adults become aware of who the bully’s targets are,
and when and where the bullying is happening, they can
focus their attention on those students who are being
bullied. Ideally, this knowledge will enable adults to
witness the bullying themselves and they can intervene
appropriately, or the bully will cease his/her behavior
due to the adult presence. In all cases, the main goal
is for every student to feel safe in school.
The Catholic Charities “Banish Bullying!” program has
been, and continues to be, a part of the seventh grade
health program. The main focus of this curriculum is to
teach student bystanders how to best become “caring
allies” if they know of a bullying situation.
If you have questions
or concerns about bullying, please feel free to contact the main office
at 762-3711 or the guidance office at 762-3726.
Greater Johnstown School District Helping Parents
Realize the Dangers of Blogging and Unsupervised Internet
Use
In the past, children used to keep their deepest thoughts
and secrets in diaries under lock and key — times have
changed. Blogging has become extremely popular among junior
high and high school students — and even among elementary
children. Students may be posting pictures of themselves and
their friends, as well as their full names, their cell phone
numbers and even their addresses.
