Give A Hoot! Olweus Bullying Prevention Program
We are kicking off year four of our K-5 Olweus Bullying Prevention Program! The Olweus program is used at the school, classroom and individual levels, and includes a focus on parent and community involvement. The goals of this program include achieving better peer relationships at school, reducing existing bullying behaviors among students and preventing the development of new bullying concerns. Join us at the Olweus Kick Off Party and PTO Ice Cream social next Tuesday, September 17th to learn more!
As part of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, students, teachers, parents and community members pledge to follow these four rules:
1. We will not bully others.
2. We will try to help students who are bullied.
3. We will try to include students who are left out.
4. If we know that someone is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home.
