Re: Incident at Weaver Elementary School at recess
This is pertaining to a situation that occurred with five students at 10:20 a.m. on Wednesday morning last week. The details of the case include:
• The children of grades 1-6 were released at 10:15 for recess
• Jonny Smith, Sarah Cork and Connor Noson ran to the swings first.
• Mary Lee, Issac Dawson and Lizzy Richard were waiting for their turn on the swings.
• Jonny, Sarah, and Connor did not get off the swings and Mary, Issac and Lizzy were getting antsy about waiting.
• The smaller three were starting to ask and get loud about why they were not able to get on the swings.
• Colin and Camille heard the confrontation and came over to the other children.
• They started pushing and aching on the smaller children.
• Colin pushed Mary to the ground and sat on top of her.
• The other school personnel were distracted and not focused on this situation.
• I immediately left my station to run over to the swings.
• I separated the children and called to the other teachers for backup.
• Recess was over at 10:30, but we explained to the children that it was not okay to push and that everyone needed to share before they went back into class.
Since these children have special needs, their social skills are not fully developed or functioning properly. This puts a strain on social norms and the children interacting with each other. With a wide variety of ages and needs of children, it is important to set rules and has trained personnel on site at all times. After the incident, the teachers and I had a meeting with the students to discuss what happened and get a full report. The other personnel seemed to think that the incident was no big deal and the “kids will be kids.” I do not accept that answer and believe that there are many options to handle this situation and deter it in the future. Luckily, the children were not injured during this incident, but believe it should be an eye opener for special educators and aids.
Attached is a spreadsheet that also details the specifics of the children and their grade levels in the incident at Weaver Elementary School.
Also, a PowerPoint presentation is attached with some recommendations for the safety of the children, future situations and how it can be handled more efficiently, and steps to take to hopefully make it preventable.
