Jordan Counselor's Corner
October 2022
October is National Bully Prevention Month!
Bullying is defined as unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power. Bullying can negatively affect your child's education and safety. Here, at Jordan, we are a zero tolerance school and encourage students to recognize and report bullying to any adult. Jordan counselors will focus on this topic during their October guidance lessons.
