October Focus: Bullying Prevention
Our Actions Make a Difference!
As we wrap up our October bullying prevention series, we are reminded that creating a safe and welcoming school community is everyone's responsibility. Preventing bullying goes beyond one month—it requires ongoing kindness, respect, inclusion, and the courage to ask for help when something is wrong.
Families can reinforce these lessons by encouraging children to think about how their words and actions affect others, include classmates who may feel left out, and tell a trusted adult when they see or experience repeated hurtful behavior. Small, positive choices can make a meaningful difference in someone's day.
7 Habits Connection: Habit 1 – Be Proactive
Habit 1 reminds us that we can choose how we respond to situations. Encourage your child to take responsibility for their actions, use respectful words, include others, and seek help when needed. We may not control how others behave, but we can control the choices we make.

How can you show kindness even when someone is different from you?
Bullying prevention doesn't end when October does. Let's continue working together to ensure every student feels safe, respected, valued, and included—every day of the school year.
