October is National Bullying Prevention Month
Read the APS Bully Prevention News Release here.
This year APS will celebrate Unity Day on Wed, Oct.19. Unity Day is a day to wear and share ‘orange’ to send a visible message that no child should ever experience bullying.  Some ideas of how to participate:

  • Wear Orange: A few ideas include tees, shoelaces, socks, sunglasses, wristbands, etc.
  • Share Orange: Post images to social media, tag with #UnityEveryDay
  • For more information on Unity Day, please visit https://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/unity-day.asp

For more information on bullying prevention in APS, please visit the APS Bullying Prevention website. Please reach out to your child’s School Counselor for any resources or assistance your child may need if they are experiencing any bullying behaviors.


Tomorrow (Tuesday, October 18), the Parent Resource Center will offer An Introduction to Special Education, and on Wednesday (October 19), we will host two of our wonderful Autism/Low Incidence Disability Specialists, Deborah Hammer and Erin Donohue, for What is Neurodiversity? 

Arlington County’s Community Services Board’s Developmental Disability Committee and Arlington County Developmental Services are offering a Residential Summit on Saturday, October 22. Details and registration links can be found in our Events section below.
