A Parent’s Guide to Bullying Prevention

This school year, Ivy Hill students are learning about bullying prevention in
their classrooms.  Specifically, students have learned about the significance of class rules, how to recognize, report, and refuse bullying, as well as the importance of bystander power.   Cyber bullying is also discussed in fourth and fifth grade lessons. We would love to share this content with parents! If you are interested in learning more, Ivy Hill’s school social worker and school psychologist intern will be presenting bullying prevention information to parents on Friday February 19th at 9:15am at Ivy Hill. We look forward to seeing you!  
Please RSVP with the following link by Thursday February 18th:
