Families do not have to determine if an incident meets a particular legal definition before sharing a concern with the school. Keeping records and asking clear questions can help families and schools understand what happened, how the student is being affected, and what needs to happen next. https://wapave.org/bullying-at-school-resources-and-the-rights-of-students-with-special-needs/

🔶🔶🔶Today is ! Wear Orange to promote !🔶🔶🔶
Unity Day, started by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center in October 2011, is the signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month. This is a day when we can come together to send a visible message of building community through kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. The call to action is simple: wear and share the color orange. This vibrant statement becomes a conversation starter, showing support for students who have been bullied and for bullying prevention.

A How-To Kit About Helping Yourself and Others

PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center created the Speak Up About Speaking Up Kit, with support from Infinite Campus Foundation, to provide free, ready-to-use resources for educators, counselors, and youth leaders. The kit can be used year-round with students of all ages to help them learn and practice the lifelong skills of self-advocacy and advocating for others. https://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/unity-day/
