NO NAME CALLING WEEK
Dear Parents,
The week of January 24
through January 28 is
the eighth annual
national "No
Name-Calling Week."
That's when thousands of
elementary and middle
schools focus on the
issue of tolerance and
bullying and why
name-calling is wrong.
The No Name-Calling Day
Project seeks to focus
national attention on
the problem of
name-calling in schools.
The Project also seeks
to provide students,
educators, and families
with the tools and
inspiration to launch an
on-going conversation
about ways to eliminate
name-calling in their
communities. In our
schools, we strive to
end bullying and teach
children the importance
of understanding
differences and treating
everyone with respect.
Family members play an
important role in
shaping children's
attitudes towards
name-calling. As your
children's teachers, we
would like to encourage
families to discuss with
your children the
importance of no
name-calling or
bullying. Remind them
that they should
remember to consider how
they would feel if they
were called a name or
bullied. Encourage them
to think before they
speak. Please promote
kindness and respect
towards others. Above
all, continue to be a
positive role model for
your children.
A suggested website for
information on no
name-calling can be
found at

Together we can put an
end to bullying.
