Citizenship
We believe that students must feel safe in order for John Hay to be an effective learning environment. In addition to our rules and expectations, we have taken the following steps to reduce bullying and ensure that all students feel safe and welcome at all times:
- Adopted school-wide anti-bullying rules, based on the internationally-acclaimed Olweus framework
- Implemented the 2nd Step citizenship and social skills curriculum for grades K-2
- Implemented the Steps to Respect citizenship and social skills curriculum for grades 3-5
- Developed a system to recognize and encourage positive behavior
Anti-Bullying Rules
- We will not bully others
- We will help students who are being bullied
- We will include students who are easily left out
- When we know someone is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home
