Important Communication to Families around a current trend:

Dear Parents,

We have had an amazing start to the school year; our staff and students should be so proud to be Eno River Bobcats. Our school exceeded expected growth in the 21-22 school year, our athletics teams are on fire, and our student behavior has been fantastic, with no instances of out of school suspensions thus far.

It has come to our attention that there has been a trend here at Eno River Academy High School where students are using hurtful phrases that may be impacting our student body in a negative way. Students have been using the phrase “kill yourself” as a joke/flippantly. This type of language is hurtful and uncalled for, even when those saying it do not intend for it to be. In the interest of protecting students, staff, and the culture of positivity at ERA, we are asking that you help us by having a conversation with your child(ren) about the use of language about self-harm or suicide in a joking manner.

We are committed to stopping this trend and encouraging students to use more appropriate language when joking. A message will also be going out to students to remind them that these “jokes” will not be tolerated and that if a student is heard saying “kill yourself” they will be referred immediately to Ms. Sealy.

Again, we are so proud of our Bobcat family and have been thrilled at the positive start to school this year. The school and community are full of support for all students. We do not want this to overshadow the good that we see, and know that with your help we can make that happen.

Thank you,

Ms. Sealy
