Bullying Prevention
We have a District 204 Bully Curriculum. It uses the theme of Stop, Walk and Talk. This curriculum is taught school wide and is the same curriculum that was used in 2010-2011.. Please stress to your child that NYE is a bully-free school. Bullying will not be tolerated. Empower your child to stand up for him/herself. If your child does not feel comfortable solving the problem alone, encourage him/her to seek help from an adult. Feel free as a parent to contact your childs teacher or other school staff so the school can be involved early in the situation. Bugs and Brags bucket
