Bullying Prevention

Appomattox County Public Schools is committed to providing all students with an educational environment that promotes personal growth, healthy interpersonal relationships, wellness, and academic success within a caring, responsive, and safe environment that is free of discrimination, violence, and bullying. To report bullying online, please click one of the following school "Report a Bully" form links:

Bullying can threaten students’ physical and emotional safety at school and can negatively impact their ability to learn. The best way to address bullying is to stop it before it starts.

The Bullying Hotline Number (434) 352-2071 is available for anonymous reporting via phone call. For reporting via text message, please send messages to (434) 609-7146.

Students are encouraged to report all incidences of bullying that they observe even if they are not a direct victim of the abuse.
