Michigan Cyber Safety Initiative
Presentation Follow-Up - 9/20/19
Purpose of this Communication
Today the Attorney General's Office presented to our students at Adams and Marshall about the importance of putting an end to all types of bullying and the horrifying consequences that can result when bullying exists. In addition, the presenters communicated the importance of speaking up when our students or someone they know is being bullied. In an effort to make this message to students the most powerful it can be, we need your support from home. We are providing you with resources you may find useful to use with your child. It takes a team to help stop bullying in all forms, and we need all hands on deck.
