Nevada’s Week of Respect

Each year, the first week of October in Nevada is designated as the Week of Respect. This designation provides schools across Nevada with the opportunity to engage in activities and learning opportunities that highlight the importance of safe and respectful learning environments. Per NRS 388.1395, the governing body of each school shall determine the most effective manner for the delivery of information to students during the Week of Respect, which must focus on:

• Methods to prevent, identify, and report incidents of bullying and cyber-bullying;
• Methods to improve the school environment in a manner that will facilitate positive human relations among pupils; and
• Methods to facilitate positive human relations among pupils by eliminating the use of bullying and cyber-bullying.

However, with fall break scheduled for the designated Week of Respect, the District will be celebrating all month.
