February 10 – 14, 2020
During Respect for All Week, schools across will have the opportunity to highlight and build upon ongoing programs to help students, staff and communities gain a better understanding of diversity. Schools may also start new initiatives that promote respect for diversity and focus on preventing bullying, intimidation, and bias-based harassment. Your child’s school is also encouraged to promote acceptance and understanding through theme-based lessons and activities.
DIGNITY FOR ALL STUDENTS ACT
New York’s Dignity for All Students Act seeks to provide the State’s students with a safe and supportive environment free from discrimination, intimidation, taunting, harassment and bullying on school property, a school bus and/or at a school function.*
(New York State Dignity for All Students Act Brochure)
For the 2019-20 school year, students, parents, faculty and staff can report incidents of harassment, bullying and/or discrimination to the Assistant Principal, Mr. Parker or to the Guidance Counselor, Mrs. DeLuca.
