In accordance with Public Law 25-2013, I implement our Anti Bullying program yearly by October 15th. Each grade level receives instruction as to the definition of Bullying and what to do in the event they experience it. To find the definition of bullying, go to UCE’s home page, under NEWS AND EVENTS, FORMS, BULLYING DEFINITION.
