National Bullying Prevention Month (NBPM) is a campaign founded in 2006 by PACER’s
National Bullying Prevention Center. The campaign is held during the month of October and connects communities around the world to help prevent bullying. It is more important than ever to join together in creating a world that is kinder, more accepting, and more inclusive.
National Bullying Prevention Month is a time for everyone to:
UNITE: It is important to amplify the unified message that no one deserves to be bullied and all students deserve to feel safe and supported and to inspire everyone to act with kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
RAISE AWARENESS: Talking about bullying prevention helps build understanding. All schools, organizations, and communities are encouraged to widely share and post information about how to prevent bullying in their communities. Partners will be listed on PACER’s bullying prevention website and will have access to resources to get involved at their schools or in their community.
LEARN: It’s empowering to know what to do when you see or experience bullying. Everyone can access the free web-based resources that can be used by schools, parents, and students to better understand opportunities to prevent bullying. Educational opportunities include interactive websites, classroom toolkits, and contests.
TAKE ACTION: Actions have impact. Parents can visit PACER’s bullying prevention websites with their children. Communities can participate in Unity Day or Run, Walk, Roll Against Bullying events.
The Baldwin County School District will be participating in various activities throughout the month to raise awareness about bullying and how to prevent it. Please speak with your child about how they can prevent bullying!
Students, staff, and community members are encouraged to report events and behaviors that they believe pose a threat to the safety of our schools through our Safe2SpeakUp platform. You can find Safe2SpeakUp at the following link: Safe2SpeakUp. Safe2SpeakUp can also be found in the BCSD Bookmarks Tab on all school-issued devices and the Baldwin County Board of Education website ( https://www.baldwincountyschoolsga.org/) under the "more" tab. If you see or hear anything of concern, please report it immediately to the school administration or law enforcement.
