ENDS 4:Healthy Youth Surveys and Student Voice When you feel sad or hopeless, are there adults you can turn to for help? A student is being bullied when another student, or group of students, say or do nasty or unpleasant things to him or her. It is also bullying when a student is teased repeatedly in a way he or she doesn’t like. It is NOT bullying when two students of about the same strength argue or fight. In the last 30 days, how often have you been bullied? I look forward to the future. I feel good about myself. I enjoy being in school? Try to do your best work in school? My teacher(s) notices when I am doing a good job and lets me know about it. Participated in clubs, organizations or activities at school? How often do you feel the schoolwork you are assigned is meaningful and important?

Hire, retain, and support motivated and inspiring teachers; Deploy caring, inclusive, collaborative teams committed to meeting the needs of the whole child; Establish high expectations for all students and for all staff members; Treat all students and all families fairly, equitably, and respectfully; Collaborate with the community to support the whole child and the whole family; Foster the sense of future possibilities that motivate students to achieve; Help families understand the value of education and give them the skills to help their students achieve; and Believe all children are capable of success, no exception.
