October is National Bullying Prevention Month

It’s never easy to talk about tough topics like bullying. But when we address them head-on and bring them out into the open, we have a better chance at preventing bully behavior and helping the victims. Let’s make National Bullying Prevention Month 2024 a time for meaningful action.If you or someone you know is being bullied, report your concern to a Teacher, School Counselor or Administrator, immediately.*Please see your gmail account for additional information on Bullying Prevention*

Postsecondary Opportunities for High School Students

To prepare Virginia’s students for postsecondary education or to meet employers’ expectations of candidates for entry-level jobs House Bill 1299 and Senate Bill 738 (2022 General Assembly) charged the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) and the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) with collecting information that assists high school students in making more informed decisions about their futures after graduating from high school. This ensures that such students are aware of the costs and benefits of different educational and certificate programs.

This page provides information on preparing, applying, and paying for college, as well as information on degrees and labor-market career projections.(Click the link below to access this information)
