October is National Bullying Prevention Month

Every October, schools and organizations across the country join STOMP Out Bullying™ in observing National Bullying Prevention Month. The goal: encourage schools, communities and organizations to work together to stop bullying and cyberbullying and put an end to hatred and racism by increasing awareness of the prevalence and impact of all forms of bullying on all children of all ages.

The first Monday of every October is World Day of Bullying Prevention™!

On this day students, schools, and communities all over the world go BLUE together against bullying. It also kicks off National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month every October.

HSS-Austin staff & students are invited to wear a blue shirt with your uniform bottoms on Monday, October 7th to support this important initiative.

 

Friday, October 4th will be Fall Picture Day Makeup Day for any new or absent students that missed our picture day on August 28th. Students should be in school uniforms for these pictures.
