Good afternoon Prince George Families,
I hope this message finds you well as we begin our journey together into a new semester. I’m writing today to share information about our efforts to keep our school community safe every day.
Our schools strive to be welcoming, positive spaces for our whole community, and we’re committed to providing a learning environment in all of our campuses where our students feel safe and supported. As outlined in our Student Code of Conduct, bullying, harassment, and intimidation of any kind, be it verbal, physical, or online, has no place in our schools.
As we strengthen our efforts, we have made new digital resources available for our school community. All of our school websites and the division’s main website now feature bullying prevention resources available to everyone. The online portal, available on both desktop and mobile via our websites, features a variety of resources from the National Bullying Prevention Center, StopBullying.gov, and other information from the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE). These resources were thoughtfully compiled into a central location to help our community identify concerning behaviors early, whether a student is being impacted by bullying or may be struggling with behaviors that affect others, so that appropriate support and intervention can be provided.
In addition to these informational resources, a full-feature bullying reporting form is available on our portal. This form allows students, parents/guardians, and others to report potential instances of bullying anonymously. These reports will be reviewed promptly by division staff for investigation. Sharing concerns, even when there is uncertainty, allows schools to assess situations early and respond appropriately, supporting students who may be affected and providing guidance, intervention, or additional support for all involved.
You can find these resources at https://www.pgs.k12.va.us/apps/pages/bullyingprevention, and linked in the navigation menus of all of our websites.
Preventing bullying is a shared responsibility among students, staff, families, and the broader school community. By working together and addressing concerns early, we can help prevent harmful behaviors and support positive relationships, thus furthering our goal of creating safe and uplifting environments in our schools and community every day.
I appreciate your time and attention to this important matter, and your support of our schools.
Sincerely,
Dr. Wayne Lyle
Superintendent
Prince George County Public Schools
