and strategies to navigate situations they encounter.

Please ensure you are carefully choosing your language around children
regarding all conflict.

Keep in mind the 3 key characteristics that define bullying...

● Intent to harm.
● Intentionally repeated incidences.
● Power of Bully / Vulnerability of Victim
The Preventative Approach to Conflict
1. School wide Expectations and continued conversations.
● common language,
● peacekeeper program,
● Gotchas/Green forms
2. FSLC classroom presentations.
● grade specific programming,
● small group activities
3. FSLC individual programming
● individual social/emotional needs of students and their families
School Support & “Consequences”
Goal is to help students who are lacking skills to develop them using positive
behaviour supports. Our responses may include…

● Communication with home regarding student behaviours


● Time working with an Adult in our building
● Time in our EBS room learning a skill to help them
● Reading books that showcase a skill they can use
● Creating apology notes, or classroom posters or student visuals
● Staff Mentors for students who are struggling
● Supervision Levels at Recess- Close constant- Universal
● Frequent Check ins
● Phoning home to parent
● Suspensions
● Threat Assessment
● Outside agencies for more support if needed
What parents can do to help us support all of our
kids!
● 1st- Reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher
● Get in touch with Alli, Jolene or Tracey (phone school, email, set up a meeting
time) directly
● Encourage your child to report to a teacher (if it is handled right after an
incident, it is much easier to sort out!)
● Talk to your child at home about how they can advocate for themselves too!
● Refrain from making social media posts regarding student incidents
You can ALWAYS phone and ask questions to find out more and see if teachers are aware or can help to solve problems! We
are happy to address issues and support students, but we need to know about them to help!
