Bullying Prevention


Our schools began using the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program beginning October 14, 2011. This research based program reduces bullying in schools and helps schools to create a safe and more positive place where students can learn.  Although this program takes place at school, we need your help too.  You can talk about bullying and our school’s anti-bullying expectations at home with your child.  We want to work with you to prevent and stop bullying from happening in our school. In this document, you will find detailed information for parents about bullying. However, if you have any questions or concerns about bullying, please contact your child’s principal or school counselor. Click here for an important parent update.
