What is bullying, and what does it actually look like in today’s terms? Who is affected? Where does it happen? And most importantly, what can a parent do?

The October CAC General Meeting will feature a presentation and panel discussion on bullying & cyberbullying, as seen and experienced from a school and parent perspective. We will talk about the questions above, plus give an overview of current bullying statistics within U-46, discuss district policy and procedures, and discuss examples of bullying in all age groups. Along the way, we will point you towards helpful resources geared for parents.

As a reminder, CAC meetings are open to the general public. Bring a friend or a family member along and join us for this important discussion.
