HLPUSD Wellness Wednesdays: Recognizing National Bullying Prevention Month
Hacienda La Puente Unified is committed to providing robust resources and services that support all students and foster healthy and happy school communities where our students, staff, and families feel supported, respected, and valued.
This month, Hacienda La Puente Unified is recognizing National Bullying Prevention Month and sharing support resources across the District.
National Bullying Prevention Month is the optimal time to share the ways District administrators and staff foster safe learning environments without bullying, harassment, and discrimination.
Throughout the school year, the District conducts various presentations and information sessions on social media, conflict resolution, cyberbullying, and other topics for students and parents. Please keep an eye out for additional messaging from our Equity and Access, Family Engagement Department, or your child's school site, about upcoming town halls, webinars, in-person conferences, school site meetings, and more.
In addition to informational presentations, students across the District are recommitting to kindness by actively participating in various activities and campus initiatives designed to foster a safe and welcoming environment. As part of this effort, schools will observe Unity Day on Friday, October 18 and engage in the Kids Against Bullying campaign, reinforcing HLPUSD’s collective commitment to building a culture of kindness and respect in every school.
Hacienda La Puente Unified urges all students and staff to adhere to the common community rule: if you see something, say something. Remember, your voice can make a difference.
Below are important details pulled from the District’s 2024-25 Information Handbook to assist families experiencing bullying.
