October is Bullying Prevention Month. We recognize that for many adults talking about bullying with children — of any age — can be challenging. It’s incredibly important that we practice and develop this skill, because nearly 60% of children never reveal to a trusted adult that they have been victims of bullying. Our experts help to address this challenge in the article, https://wcsdpa.onlinesafetyhub.io/parent/conversation-starters/online-bullying#!
By starting with age-specific advice, conversation starters and suggested actions, parents can gain a deeper understanding of their child’s experience and learn why children often struggle to communicate about this important topic.
Students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 will participate in the PAYS survey on October 17th. All students will need their device to complete the online survey. Please remind your student to bring his/her device to the Sheffield campus tomorrow.
Thank you!
