Anti-Bullying Awareness Program for Parents

As part of a continuous intensive bullying awareness program, parents were invited to attend two sessions led by Debbie Nehmad (HS ‘09) in collaboration with Project SAFE and the Parent School Partnership, dedicated in honor of Esther and Jack A. Hidary. The sessions outlined the difference between bullying and unkind behavior, signs of when a child is being bullied or bullying others as well as how to spot and handle cyberbullying. Parents engaged in a series of Kahoot questions outlining different scenarios children may encounter daily. Each scenario was unpacked and addressed with additional questions and concerns from the audience. Overall, parents walked away with a clearer understanding of bullying behaviors and how to spot them, prevent them, and offer intervention.
