Responding to Haters & Trolls Online.
Finding out that your kid has been cyberbullied is emotional. You or your kid might want to retaliate, but it's best to help your kid defuse the situation, and make rational efforts to put a stop to the bullying.

As kids grow, they'll naturally start to communicate more online. But some of what they see could make them feel hurt, sad, angry, or even fearful. Help your students build empathy for others and learn strategies to use when confronted with cyberbullying.

Family Tip 2: Check in about online life.

Let's face it: Some online spaces can be full of negative, rude, or downright mean behavior. But what counts as cyberbullying? Help your students learn what is - and what isn't - cyberbullying, and give them the tools they'll need to combat the problem.
OHS students and teachers attended the Annual History Symposium sponsored by the ISU History Department and ROE #17. The symposium was held in a virtual format this year, so students and teachers set up spaces in the OHS auditorium to attend a variety of breakout sessions with other students and educators around the state of Illinois. Sessions varied from topics on teaching strategies for culturally diverse lessons to helping students create community through student organizations and finding their voice. Both students and teachers are looking forward to sharing their experiences from the symposium with others at OHS.
Teachers at OMS, along with Dr. O'Donnell & Dr. Lee, are diving into historic and timely topics through the context of literacy. This is reminding our teachers of their critical hand in empowering students to think intentionally. Success is achieved when our students seek curiosity and skepticism, shape themselves and their ideas through evidence and reason, and in doing so forge themselves and our world through reading. Teachers are also learners and we are lucky to have such committed teacher learners at OMS!
Family Tip 1: Define your terms
Make sure kids understand what cyberbullying is: repeated and unwanted mean or hurtful words or behavior that occur online (through texts, social media posts, online chat, etc.).
