October is Bullying Awareness and Prevention Month

 October is Bullying Awareness and Prevention Month.


We would like to take this month to help our students understand what is and isn't bullying.



This chart is a great way to break down interactions with others. Just because someone calls a child a name, once, does not make it bullying. When a child chooses to not play with another child, this is not bullying.

Bullying is: Repeated, Hurts the Target Only, Is an effort to Control the other person.

This year our theme for October is: Know Better. Do Better. 
This comes from a Maya Angelou quote.





Our hope is that during the month of October, as we focus on bullying awareness education, we can teach our students to know better and then they can do better.
