Currently, at Mt. Pilchuck, we are working to reduce and ideally stop any and all mean and bullying behaviors. Our counselor, Mrs. Cochran, has visited, or soon will visit, all of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classrooms to discuss bullying and violence. Bullying and violence hurt everyone victims, bystanders and bullies themselves.
Students learn strategies to use when they see or hear about teasing, bullying or fighting.
The strategies include telling someone to stop, walking away, encouraging others to walk away, and asking for help. Students can t solve this problem just by themselves. So when they ask for help, school staff and parents need to be there ready to respond. Model non-violent behaviors. The most significant factor in violence is a person s family.
