"In the Know with VanGough"
VanGough has some resources to share with you that will help you learn more about how to prevent, detect, or stop childhood bullying. He found the following to be very informative: www.pacer.org , www.thebullyproject.com/parents , www.stopbullying.gov , www.violencepreventionworks.org .
VanGough would like you to know that all MGSD schools now have their own anonymous bullying reporting opportunites that you are invited to utilize if you know of a bullying situation that has occured. South Elementary's Bullying Reporting Line is 704-658-2765. You may also anonymously report bullying online at stopbullying@mgsd.k12.nc.us (See flyer below).
Finally, VanGough wants you to know that Ms. Landis is always available to discuss your child's concerns, bullying or otherwise, at 704-658-2655, or at klandis@mgsd.k12.nc.us.
