Loudoun County Public Schools implement a county-wide bullying prevention program utilizing the Second Step curriculum to teach our students how to identify bullying behavior and appropriate ways to handle bullying. Seldens Landing counselors incorporate this research-based program via grade K-5 counseling lessons and activities, while classroom teachers support the associated language, process and response using Recognize, Report & Refuse.
