Olweus- Bullying Prevention Program

We are so excited to begin implementation of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program here at Bel Air this year. We want to create a community where bullying is not tolerated by any member of the school community. This year we will work with parents,teachers, students, and community members to create a community where all children are included and feel welcome. A community where students know how to be "upstanders" rather than "bystanders" when they observe bullying. A community where students treat each other with kindness.

Please be on the lookout for our kickoff events coming up in October.

If you have any questions about this new program, please contact Ms. Marshall, our school counselor, or Ms. Rivers, our PBIS/Olweus Team Leader.
