Texarkana Independent School District has designed this page to assist Parents/Guardians with identifying bullying behavior and mental health concerns. Working together, as a team approach, we can help to assist students going through these struggles and create a community-wide effort which addresses the overall safety of all students.

There are numerous collaborative efforts, statutes, services, programs and strategies available to support the identification of bullying and mental health challenges and how to address them. We encourage you to bookmark this page and share the assorted links made available below.
