October is Anti-Bullying Month
October may be Anti Bullying Month, but our focus on Anti-Bullying education continues all year. A copy of the Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying presentation for parents is HERE.
Remember, we all do our best work when we work together....Communication between home and school is the best way to ensure that every child feels safe and respected, and that every child has the support that they need to be their best selves.
