This October, join us in promoting a safe and welcoming school environment for all students for National Bullying Awareness Month! This year, we are helping students to become more resilient and build the strength they need to navigate tough situations, prioritize their mental health, and succeed in school.

Find resources to help address bullying and build resiliency among your students. Together, we can build a future where all students feel safe, respected, and ready to achieve their dreams!

This October, we honor the rich heritage and contributions of Filipino Americans in recognition of Filipino American History Month!

As the second-largest Asian American group in the country and the third-largest ethnic group in California, Filipino Americans have played a critical part in the history and culture of both the United States and California.

This month, as we celebrate Filipino heritage, let’s recognize and appreciate the cultural wealth and distinctiveness that the Filipino community brings to our collective heritage.
