October is the time to recognize, celebrate, and drive awareness for the following themes:
- National Hispanic Heritage Month: Sept. 15th- Oct. 15th - On August 17, 1968 National Hispanic Heritage Month was enacted into law. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 until October 15. September 15th is especially important because it marks the independence of the following Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico established its independence on September 16 and Chile on September 18. Follow #HispanicHeritage and #HispanicHeritageMonth for more information!
- Learning Disabilities Awareness Month - President Ronald Reagan proclaimed October to be National Learning Disabilities Month in 1985. “Learning disabilities” (LD) is an umbrella term that describes a number of neurological differences that impact listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, and/or social skills. Spend time this month teaching yourself or others about learning disabilities, ADHD, Dyslexia and examine the unique contributions that neurodivergent individuals bring to our schools and communities. Engage on social media using hashtags #LDAwareness and #LDAwarenessMonth.
- National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month & Safe Schools Week - National Bullying Prevention Month seeks to prevent childhood bullying and promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. America’s Safe Schools Week is appropriately observed during the third week of this month. The goal is to motivate key education and law enforcement policymakers, students, parents, and community residents to advocate for school safety. In New Jersey, this week is also referred to as School Violence Awareness Week and usually includes staff training and student activities that promote conflict resolution, student diversity, and tolerance.
- Digital Citizenship Week - Every year, the third week of October is dedicated to teaching good digital citizenship in hopes that all students will become safe and smart when using technology.
