Anti-Bullying Policy
Here at the Smith School we have established a school culture of acceptance, tolerance and respect. We use staff meetings, assemblies, class and parent meetings, newsletters to families, the school website, and the student handbook to establish a positive climate at school. We reinforce positive social interactions and inclusiveness.
Cyber-Bullying
In the Media Center and in the classroom students will learn the differences and similarities between cyber-bullying and in-school bullying in terms of the roles of bully, victim and bystander.
We have built bullying prevention material into the curriculum and school activities.
