Event Date:  October 7, 2024 (All day) Carson City School District Per Nevada Revised Statute the first week of October (Sept. 30 to Oct. 4) is designated as the “Week of Respect.” In tow with the annual observance, the Carson City School District will ensure consistent implementation of anti-bullying programs and practices in all schools and work environments with activities and events this week and next. Activities include kickoff events, dress-up days, pledges, giving and receiving compliments and more. Parents and community members are invited to participate in the activities and discussions throughout the week at Bordewich Bray, Empire, Fremont and Seeliger Elementary Schools. Carson High, Pioneer Academy, Carson Middle, Eagle Valley Middle, Fritsch Elementary and Mark Twain Elementary will all observe the “Week of Respect” Oct. 7-11. “The ‘Week of Respect’ is the launching of a yearlong effort to enhance a safe and respectful learning environment,” said Andrew Feuling, superintendent for the Carson City School District. “The initiative aims to foster a culture of kindness, empathy and understanding among students, staff and the community.” Throughout this week and next, class curriculum and social activities will center on the five standards of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) including self-management, self-awareness, responsible decision-making, relationship skills and social awareness. Events will also prompt students to reflect on and share personal experiences of what respect means to them, how they give and receive respect and how they react when they perceive they are being disrespected. The “Week of Respect” highlights skills and interactions that facilitate positive student relationships and empowers students to observe the impact they can make, simply by approaching each day from a place of treating others the way they wish to be treated. Information about Nevada Law NRS 388.122-135 was provided to students and staff, which helped them more fully recognize bullying, how to report incidences when bullying occurs and the steps the district will take when allegations of bullying have been made. “In today's world, it's important for our students to understand that we do not need to share the same opinion as others; however, we do need to learn to be respectful of other's opinions and be civil where we disagree,” Superintendent Feuling said. “We hope the activities this week will help bring that concept to life for our students.” See the lists of school activities in the photo boxes above and the flyers below.
