FCPS is deeply committed to creating a safe and positive school environment where all students can learn. Through schoolwide positive behavior approaches and participation in K-12 health and guidance lessons, students are taught to behave respectfully and to resolve conflicts in positive ways.
The Bullying Prevention Presentation seeks to educate listeners on the following:

- Types of bullying
- Differences between bullying and other forms of inappropriate behavior

- How parents and schools can work together to prevent bullying
Join us in-person at the Terra Centre ES Cafeteria or online (link to follow) on Tuesday, January 17 from 5:30 - 6:30 PM.
