October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and our school counselors are focusing on building kindness, respect, and safety throughout our school community.

This year, we’ll share updates on our counseling page within our school website and on ClassDojo. Each month you’ll find information about what’s happening in classrooms, resources for families, and ways to support your child’s social and emotional growth.

For October, here’s what’s happening:

• Classroom Lessons: Counselors are leading Anti-Bullying presentations. Students will learn how to recognize, report, and refuse bullying.

• Recess Activities: Our Mental Health Counselor and MSW Intern are leading interactive anti-bullying activities during recess to encourage inclusion and positive play.

• Family Connection: We encourage families to talk with children about kindness at home and remind them of the importance of reporting to a trusted adult if they ever feel unsafe.

Together, we can help create a school environment where every student feels welcome, supported, and safe.

If you have any concerns or need support, our counselors are here to help! 509-854-1420
