Elizabeth,
Does our district have a anti bullying policy and if so do you know what it is? My oldest is now telling me some things that happened while she was in school, we already know about 2 girls in our neighborhood.

Kids, even at the elementary school age can be cruel!

Joanna,

Bullying is addressed in several places in Christina's Code of Conduct. I have copied a section from pages 33 and 34 for your review.
