Bullying Prevention & Social Skills Curriculum

Bullying Prevention

The Bellevue School District’s Bullying Prevention and Social Skills curriculum is being taught at all grade levels, in every school. Younger students learn about empathy, making friends, problem solving and responding to bullying. Integrated lessons for older students include the impact of gossiping, taunting and bullying, as well as the dangers of cyber-bullying. All students are challenged to think about a “Virtue of the Month,” such as respect, compassion and integrity.

Bullying, It's Not OK: When your Child is the Target, the Bully, or a Bystander

Bullying is when one child or a group of children repeatedly picks on another child - often one who is seen as weaker and more vulnerable. Bullying can be about any real or imagined difference a child might have.

Celebrating Unity Day

On Wednesday, October 10, 2012, the Bellevue School District will participate in National Unity Day. Students, parents, school staff and community members are encouraged to wear orange as part of the "Make it Orange, Make it End" bullying prevention campaign.

Last year on Unity Day, students across Bellevue participated by wearing their favorite orange shirts, sweaters and scarves. At Highland Middle School, 248 students signed “The End of Bullying Begins with Me” petition. The school sent the signed petition to the National Bullying Prevention Center. Highland students’ names will be added to an online petition signed by students from across the country.
