October is Bullying Awareness Month
Parents play a vital role in both preventing and responding to bullying. The more parents know about bullying, the better they will be prepared to have important conversations with their child about this serious issue and become strong partners with you to create a bully-free school.
Sincerely,
-- Carolyn Stanford Taylor, Assistant State Superintendent Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction
