October is National Bullying Awareness Month
Kindness in Chalk Helps!
October is National Bullying Awareness Month. There’s a lot that happens in our schools and our society that could benefit from a little kindness. The goal of the Kindness in Chalk Movement is to combat bullying with the most valuable virtue of all – KINDNESS. Sibley East Middle and High School students participated on Monday, October 7th in the Kindness in Chalk Movement. During den time students were given the opportunity to write messages of kindness on the school sidewalks. Approximately 70 participated in the activity, Sibley East Elementary also participated in the activity at their site.
Attention Seniors and Parents
October is College Knowledge Month
A Special Message from Counselor Regina Sirianni
This month is a great opportunity for students to explore 2 year and 4 year colleges and universities. During October many schools waive their application fee, especially during the last week of October, which is why we will be having a college application workshop day on October 30th and 31st. This will take place during 12th grade English classes where I, along with other a few other staff, will assist students in completing college applications. Before the workshop days, please identify your prospective colleges and check their requirements. I strongly encourage anyone who is even thinking about attending schooling next year to at least apply to one school during this workshop.
Please contact me if you have any questions @ regina.sirianni@sibleyeast.org.
-Thanks! - Regina Sirianni: Sibley East High School Counselor

VISION AND HEARING SCREENING
Sibley East Schools will be holding the annual Vision and Hearing Screening on
OCTOBER 28 AND 29 / ARLINGTON CAMPUS
NOVEMBER 5 AND 6 / GAYLORD CAMPUS
In Gaylord, we will be screening:
- Kindergarten boys for color blindness;
- Grades K, 1, 3 and 5 for vision and hearing;
- Grade 5 girls for scoliosis.
In Arlington, we will be screening:
- Grades 7 and 10 for Vision;
- Grades 8 and 11 for Hearing.
Students who do not pass the initial screening will be re-screened before referrals go home. Sometimes students do not pass the initial screening because they did not feel well the day of the screening. In the early elementary, students may also not understand the screening process and may do better on the re-screen because they are more familiar with the process.
Please call the Health Office on your child’s campus if you have any questions.
Over the years, thousands of students have been educated in the Sibley East Schools, as well as in the preceding school districts of Arlington, Arlington-Green Isle, Gaylord, Gaylord-Winthrop, and Green Isle. Many of these students subsequently entered professions and careers where they excelled in a variety of fields, among them, agriculture, arts and entertainment, business, education, medicine, public service, and science.
