Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
On Thursday, October 29, 2015, Phil Chalmers, an expert on school violence and bullying, will be speaking with our Junior High and High School students. Phil’s message will be a very honest description of school violence and bullying and may be disconcerting for some students. Per Phil’s request, I have included an excusal sheet for our students whose parents/guardians wish that they not attend. There are no consequences for not attending. Students who are not in attendance do will be allowed to work on homework, read a book, or other activities approved by the supervisor. If you would like to find out more about Phil Chalmers and his message, please visit http://philchalmers.com/index.php and look for information on his “Trues Lies” program about bullying and school violence.
Also, on that evening there will be a presentation at [Morrison High School, 643 Genesee Avenue, Morrison, IL, at] 6:00 p.m. for all [adult] community members and parents to hear Phil’s message. We encourage everyone to attend. Those in attendance will be eligible for prizes.
Thank you,
Superintendent Scott Vance
