                                      This month's guidance lessons will be dedicated to bullying prevetion.  Written below is a letter from the Virginia School Board Association (VSBA).

                                      VSBA Bullying Prevention Month is January
                                      Month Empowers Schools and Parents to End Childhood Harassment


                                      School Board Members, Superintendents, staff, parents, and children around the Commonwealth are encouraged to use bullying prevention activities and materials to help end bullying. Childhood bullying is a significant problem nationwide.  It can cause school absenteeism, mental and physical stress, poor school performance, poor self-esteem, and, in some cases, school violence. Statistics show that 160,000 children in the United States miss school each day as a result of being bullied.

                                      School Board Members, superintendents, teachers and parents can play a critical role in creating a climate where bullying is not tolerated. It has been proven when adults and children stand together, bullying ends.

                                      VSBA BullyingPrevention Month is being promoted in Virginia by the Virginia School Boards Association. The Virginia School Boards Association, a voluntary, nonpartisan organization of Virginia school boards, promotes excellence in public

                                      education through advocacy, training and services.
