October was National Bullying Prevention Month
Happy fall, District 2! The leaves are crisp, and the air is cool. The holiday season is in full swing! Lakewood Elementary and Geneva Heights came together to host a Fall Festival that included carnival rides, games, and a silent auction. It is such a blessing to be able to be together again. The Exchange Club of East Dallas held its 8th annual golf tournament and afterparty to support Woodrow Wilson High School students. We are so grateful for their efforts. Mockingbird Elementary hosted its fall carnival in hopes of raising money. The event was full of rides, games, booths, and food trucks. We are thrilled to see many DISD families joining us for various events.

National Bullying Prevention Month
Dallas ISD wants everyone to know what bullying is and how students, parents, teachers and staff can create positive change and emphasize respect and inclusion across the district. October was National Bullying Prevention Month, and we learned how to help prevent and respond to acts of bullying, intimidation, violence and other disruptive behavior to keep our communities safe. Reports of bullying should be made as soon as possible after the alleged act or knowledge of the alleged act. If your student believes that they have experienced bullying or another student has experienced bullying, encourage them to immediately report the alleged acts to a teacher, counselor, principal, or anonymously at www.dallasisd.org/saysomething.
