Bullying Prevention

Bullying Prevention Month

During the month of October, we will celebrate National Bullying Prevention Month in many ways.  There will be announcements, special assemblies, a parent workshop, and an online course for our faculty to complete.  Each week, our teachers will lead a lesson provided by our Counseling Department.  All students will receive one lesson per week during class regarding bullying prevention.  Counselors will be doing grade level lessons covering specific topics pertaining to bullying.  6th grade will cover the basics: Bully, Victim, Bystander and what to do if they witness bullying.  7th grade will cover Sexual Harassment, and 8th grade will concentrate more on Cyber and Online bullying. 

What do I do if I need to report an incident?

Any Dean or Counselor can take the information from you. Please be prepared to provide the names of the alleged victim, bully and any witnesses. We know many students ask their parents not to share their names with us, but it makes it very difficult to take care of the problem without gathering all of the information from all parties involved. We will always try to protect the identity of the person making the report and those involved.

Contact a Dean or Counselor in any of the following ways:

Either you or your child can: email or call us, or your child can stop by our office during the school day.
