Bullying/Harassment/Intimidation

Bullying, harassment, and intimidation (BHI) have no place at Ernest Everett Just Middle School. Whether it happens in the hallways or online, such behavior can create hostile learning environments that interfere with students’ academic performance, and emotional and physical well-being. Harassment is motivated by real or perceived characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, or socioeconomic status.

Bullying behavior is threatening, intimidating, and occurs repeatedly over time with the intent to cause harm. Bullying is unwanted behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated over time with the intent to cause harm. Bullying behavior may include: making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and deliberately excluding someone from a group.

Attached is a family guide for BHI, a PGCPS resource website, and what the reporting form consists of.

Testing Resources

The PSAT 8/9 is a test that eighth and ninth graders take during the regular school day. The PSAT 8/9 tests your child’s reading, writing, and math skills. The PSAT 8/9 gives you, your child, and their teachers’ valuable information about your child’s academic strengths and weaknesses while there’s still plenty of time for them to improve their skills.

*Please note that the PSAT dates are forthcoming due to virtual learning*

Self Esteem

What is Self-Esteem?

Middle school is an exciting, yet challenging time for students, parents, and teachers! Most students that school counselors see for a variety of different reasons all seem to have one thing in common. Their self-confidence has taken a hit somewhere along the line. If we can help them to feel better about themselves, then we can help them to improve their grades, relationships, communication, and to reach goals.

Special Education

The Department of Special Education in PGCPS ensures that the rights of students with disabilities are protected and that federal and state regulatory requirements are met; and to provide resources to parents, guardians and families of children and students with disabilities. The special education program has services such as secondary transition, support programs, and assessment/accommodation services.
