Counselor's Corner
Dear Parents,
It is Bullying awareness month. Please come see this powerful presentation on the dangers of bullying on October 23.
We take bullying very seriously at BCE. Thankfully, most times, situations don’t turn out to be bullying, but unkind actions. Here is some information to help you distinguish between bullying and bothering.
As always, please don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions or concerns!
