Sun, 10/01/2023 - 1:22pm
October is the start of National Bullying Prevention Month! We wanted to use this opportunity to share with our students, parents, guardians, and families some information and definitions to better help you understand bullying. It is important that you understand what bullying is to ensure you are able to report it when you see it or are told about it. Thank you for helping to ensure our school a safe place for all students!

We have had yet another great week at Patuxent Valley and I’m thankful for all the ways that students, staff and families have contributed to our transition to our new school start times. All of our buses have been in before 7:42 am Wednesday through Friday and we have begun home room on time each day.
