Resources for Dealing with Bullying:

The staff and trustees of School District No. 53 (Okanagan-Similkameen) are saddened by the tragic death of Amanda Todd, a Port Coquitlam teen.  For the next few weeks, school administrators will be communicating with counsellors and staff to connect with students who may exhibit signs of bullying and/or a shift in behaviour.

Meanwhile parents and students may find the following resources helpful:
