School-wide Bully Prevention Plan

How do your school-wide expectations/rules relate to teaching bully prevention? (e.g., Respect, Kindness, Thoughtful)

• “KYHFOOTY” addresses physical respect and “Be Kind” addresses the social skills to promote bully prevention.

How do you incorporate bully prevention in teaching your school-wide expectations to students and staff? (Include student leadership involvement.) Examples:

•  School Branding: slogans, pledges, logos, etc.
•  Reward and recognition programs for demonstrations of positive behavior and students who perpetuate it
• Behavior Matrix includes specific pro-social behaviors
• Video lessons or PowerPoints used for teaching behavior expectations
•  Creating a campaign using student body officers or creating student leadership positions for the express purpose of improving school climate and culture
• Data collection on student behavior tracking both positive and negative student behaviors (student driven data collection in secondary schools)

School-wide involvement: *banners have expectations listed and procedures are taught school wide *school wide recognition programs *Buddy benches on playground

Student involvement:

• After School academic tutoring
• YMCA after school program
• Safety Patrol

Community involvement:

• Community boxes (like the buddy boxes of the past, but in every classroom for both positive and negative reports)
• Monthly parent meetings (School Community Council)
• Plan put on school website

Which curriculum do you use to explicitly teach bully prevention to all students and staff? When is this taught (timeline)?

•  Don’t Stand By, Be An Ally Curriculum (Bystander Training)
• Stop, Walk and Talk Training (Creation of a conflict resolution protocol that includes specific language and gestures)
• Social/Emotional Curriculum
• Social Media Safety Awareness lessons
• D.A.R.E. Lessons delivered by West Valley City Police Department
