    Loudoun County Public Schools implements a county-wide bullying prevention program to teach students how to identify bullying behavior and appropriate ways to handle bullying. Counselors will provide staff development and all staff will provide instruction, reinforcement, and support.   
     
    The Second Step Bulying Prevention Program is new this year. Every K-5 LCPS student is taught how to respond to bullying behavior using the Second Step Bullying prevention Program. Students will receive 4 bullying prevention lessons taught by their school counselor. Lessons will include the 3R's: Recognize, Report, and Refuse and Bystander Power.
