If your child is more quiet than usual when they get home or are nervous to go to school those might be signs of bullying. Keep in contact with the teachers. The teacher should be the first resource for a parent to help their child with bullying. If the teacher isn’t around (usually during recess or lunch or maybe even on the bus) then have the teacher ask the para-educator or other adults that are supervising them. You can also reach out to the principal. It is best to email because often times it is easier to remember what is said. If you don’t get anywhere with the school than go to the school district office. Check the website to see who the Special Education Supervisor is, the Superintendent etc. It would be good to email both of them at the same time on the same email with your questions and concerns to make sure they both receive it.
Keep working with the following people and if the bullying persists, communicate this to the next person or group listed here.
