One of the nicest things about this school is the family atmosphere. Everyone looks out for everyone else's children and it makes a difference when you go off to work in the morning. I never have a worry I know my kids are being taken care of and learning too
Olweus Program
We follow the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program
The Olweus Program (pronounced Ol-VEY-us; the E sounds like a long A) is a comprehensive, school-wide program designed and evaluated for use in elementary, middle, or junior high schools. The program’s goals are to reduce and prevent bullying problems among school children and to improve peer relations at school. The program has been found to reduce bullying among children, improve the social climate of classrooms, and reduce related antisocial behaviors, such as vandalism and truancy.
The program consists of four school rules and a behavior rubric.
