Bully-Proofing Your School (BPYS):
The curriculum for the Bully-Proofing Your School (BPYS) program is being taught in each of
our classrooms during the months of October and November. We teach this curriculum because
we wholeheartedly believe in its purpose, which is to make the school environment safe for your
children both physically and psychologically. Our goals are: 1) to stop bullying behavior, 2) to
teach strategies to help students decide what they will do to help bullying to stop, and 3) to
emphasize inclusiveness and kindness in how students treat one another.
Please see the attached information regarding BPYS.
