Any child can be bullied. This problem is real and urgent; which is why we have devoted our entire Bloomfield SEPAC Meeting on Nov. 8, to the topic of ANTI-BULLYING. Learn Bloomfield Schools Policies and Protocols about the steps to prevent bullying, what steps to take if your child is being bullied and most importantly learn the warning signs that may alert you that your child has been or is being bullied and then, learn how to help deal with it.
Don’t miss this important meeting, on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2017, at Bloomfield High School from 6-8. PM.
Our next Bloomfield SEPAC Meeting is set for Wednesday, May 17, 2017, at The Early Childhood Center at Forest Glen School from 7 – 9 P.M.
Our special guest will be Dr. Ellen Platt, a renowned Child Psychiatrist who will speak about such topics as helping Parents to deal with Anxiety and School Avoidance with Pre-School through Elementary School Students. She will also hold a Question & Answer Session for our Parents
Dr. Platt held a very informative Forum for parents of our school Teens in January and she has graciously agreed to return to do the same for the parents of our younger age students at our May 17th Meeting.
The Early Childhood center at Forest Glen is located at 280 Davey Street, Bloomfield, N.J. Davey Street is off Belleville Avenue, in Bloomfield. After you turn onto Davey Street, just follow the winding road to the end and you will be in the School Parking Lot.
