Bullying Prevention Program
Bullying Prevention Program
All schools deal with the issue of bullying. Bellmont Middle School has taken proactive steps to stop and prevent bullying by adopting the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. This research-based schoolwide “systems-change” program has been used successfully in schools all over the country with positive results.
This program is not a curriculum that students participate in for only a few weeks. Rather, it is a coordinated effort by all adults in the school to supervise and intervene when any bullying happens. As part of the program, students learn about the effects of bullying, what they can do about it, and how they can work with adults at school to put a stop to it even as bystanders.
For more information about the program and ways to become involved, contact one of the school's guidance counselors.
