Actually that's called battery. Assault is threatening a person with bodily harm or loss of life. Battery, which would be applicable in this case, is the unlawful and unwanted touching or striking of another person with the intent to cause harm.
That and i'm not sure what kind of school you worked at, but I know several people personally who are hit by SOMETHING on a daily basis- whether it's a fist, a foot, or a thrown object.
