Ending Childhood Hunger in Arkansas
HUNGER AT A GLANCE
Every person makes a difference in the fight to end childhood hunger. Our network of teachers, parents, community leaders, kids, teens, chefs, and volunteers from all walks of life take actions big and small to help connect kids with nutritious food where they live, learn and play. It all starts when you take the No Kid Hungry Pledge and learn about ways to get involved.
Whether you are a teacher sharing stories of hunger in your classroom, an employee asking your colleagues or online community to join in the fight, a mother writing Congress to tell them to protect critical programs that help feed hungry kids, a restaurateur raising funds during our Dine Out For No Kid Hungry promotion in September, or a chef who volunteers their time at a to teach a Cooking Matters course, visit policymakers during lobbying days in Washington, D.C. or participating in one of our Taste of the Nation culinary events across the country, every action and every dollar counts. And because of our unique No Kid Hungry model, every dollar you donate can help connect a child in need with up to 10 meals. Donate now.

DE QUEEN MISSION STATEMENTS
THE DE QUEEN JR. HIGH SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT
The community, staff, and students of De Queen Junior High School will work together in a reflective partnership to provide a safe, healthy, and educational environment where all can learn to be valuable member of today's technological society.
COUNSELING PROGRAM MISSION STATEMENT
Building a school counseling program that is developmentally comprehensive and addresses the academic, career, and personal/social domains of all students is the mission of De Queen Public Schools. The school counselor strives to be an advocate for the child and is willing to partner with other educators, parents/guardians, and the community to accomplish this goal. Students will be supported in their efforts to maximize their potential and achievement with the knowledge and skills to meet their goals as productive members of society.
THE ROLE OF SCHOOL COUNSELORS IN ARKANSAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS
School counselors help all students by establishing individual, group and classroom contacts with them, collaborating with teachers, and coordinating with other school or community guidance resources. The clinical skills and knowledge base of the counselor is more effectively used if effort is directed in an organized way toward making the school, the teachers and the curriculum sensitive to those aspects of personal development most associated with life success.
Counselors serve different school populations and function differently, due primarily to variations in the developmental stages of students and in school organization. Whatever the setting, however, counseling and guidance are functions integral to the school, which are maximized when counselors collaborate with others.

ANTI-BULLYING POLICY
In accordance with Act 681 of 2003, it is the policy of De Queen Schools that no child will be bullied, harassed or intimidated. Bullying is defined as any written or verbal expression or physical act or gesture, or a pattern thereof that is intended to cause distress or fear upon one or more students. A student will be found violating this policy if his/her conduct has been found to have the effect of humiliation or embarrassment on a student and is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it limits the student's ability to participate in or benefit from an educational program or activity. A student who has been found in violation of this act may be suspended from one to ten days and may be expelled for the remainder of the semester if the bullying persists.
De Queen School District has posted the following "Steps to Report Bullying" in high traffic areas around the campuses of the De Queen Schools:
1. Tell the person to stop.
2. Don't smile; be firm.
3. Talk to an adult (teacher, counselor, parent, administrator).
