The program will be presented by Long Hill Township School District personnel Jocelyn M. Pashko, School Psychologist and Sarah Romeo, School Social Worker and is intended for parents of children in grades K through 8. Topics covered in this presentation will include: Bullying, Cyber Bullying, Bullying Prevention along with helpful strategies and tips for parents

Rene Rovtar, Long Hill Township Superintendent of Schools, commented “I am happy that two members of the district’s Child Study Team, Jocelyn Pashko and Sarah Romeo, will be presenting valuable information to parents on this very important topic. Bullying prevention is a high priority for the Long Hill Township School District. We have implemented a new character education program this year across the district which is based on Coach John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success. This approach includes the following traits: industriousness, friendship, loyalty, cooperation, enthusiasm, self-control, and initiative. The Long Hill Township Board of Education’s policy prohibits acts of harassment, bullying, and intimidation. This workshop will provide important information to parents regarding the prevention of bullying and strategies that can help parents in this regard. I am always excited when we have the opportunity to share information directly with parents that will be beneficial to them and their children.”

In addition, the library has compiled a brochure “Coping With Bullying - Resources @ The Library”, which list the various fiction and non-fiction books, DVD’s, and other resources available at the Long Hill Township Library to help both parents and children understand the issues associated with bullying. This brochure can be picked up at the library.
