In Case of a School Emergency
The safety, security, and success of your child is our District's most important responsibility. Our District is prepared in case of a school emergency. Each school in the Haysville School District has a current Crisis Plan and a Crisis Response Team. We know that your first interest is the safety of your child. Parents and guardians can help their school by learning what their schools will do in a crisis and by cooperating with school and emergency personnel. We have created a School Emergency Information for Parents Brochure for you to keep on hand for your information, should a crisis occur. Please take the time to read this brochure to be aware of our procedures.

Parents Can Help Prevent Bullying - You don't want your child to be bullied ... or be a bully.
These tips can help:
- Build your child's self-respect. Teach him that he is strong and worthwhile. His rights and opinion counts.
- Identify supportive people. Tell your child where to get help, such as from parents, teachers, or other trusted adults.
- Role-play tough situations. Practice using different ways to deal with bullies -- discussion, jokes, ignoring, and leaving.
- Encourage friendships. Give your child opportunities to socialize with like-minded kids. Joining a club or team may help.
- Stay involved. Know what's happening at school and with friends.
How to prevent bullying behavior:
- Set an example. Be caring and nonaggressive. When angry, act calm.
- Pay attention. Notice how your child behaves. Address problems immediately.
- Provide outlets. Channel high energy into sports and other activities.
- Monitor influences. Don't let your child see violence on TV or elsewhere.
- Discipline well. Enforce sensible limits without fail.
- Encourage values. Say "Treat others as you want to be treated."
- Seek advice. If you're worried that your child might bully, talk with a professional.
