Bullying

All students who attend Yoakum Primary are taught the following regarding bullying:

  • We teach direct and explicit instruction designed so that students can recognize bullying, including cyberbullying behaviors, and know how to report them
  • We encourage age-appropriate classroom culture-building discussions that encourage peers to intervene when they observe bullying behaviors
  • We teach direct and explicit instruction that characterizes bullying as a behavior that results from the student's need to acquire more mature social or coping skills, not an immutable trait
  • Anti-bullying strategies are taught in the classroom, during PE, recess and lunch; as well as during individual, group and class counseling times

If you need to report a bullying incident, please use the Bullying Report Form.
