Bullying Prevention Information
Our schools strive to provide a safe, inclusive learning environment for all students that supports the social and emotional well-being of our students. Staff work with students to build positive school cultures and teach curriculum that encompasses bullying prevention and social skills. We want each of our students to know how to recognize bullying and what to do when they see it happening to them, their friends or classmates.
