Bully Awareness and Prevention Week – November 20 – 26th
The Government of Ontario has designated the third week of November as Bully Awareness and Prevention Week. During the week of November 20-26, teachers and parents are encouraged to specifically and intentionally address issues around bullying and the impact that it has on the academic and socioemotional well-being of children and, indeed, on school climate. In 2014, the Board launched its cyber-bullying initiative with the development of resources to support school-wide cyberbullying initiatives. Additional resources have continued to be added focusing on safe on-line behaviour, including sexting and legal implications. Resources for parents are available on the Caring and Safe Environment site.
