October is National Bullying Prevention Month. This is a crucial time to highlight the importance of creating safe, supportive environments for all students here at Ford Blvd Elementary. This month, we will be engaging students in activities and discussions to help them understand the impact of bullying, how to stand up for themselves and others, and the importance of empathy. We encourage you to join us in these efforts by having conversations with your children about kindness and respect, and reminding them of the resources available at school if they ever need support. Together, we can make our school a place where every student feels valued and safe.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership in this important work!
