We will try to include students who are left out.
If we know that somebody is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home.
FOUR ANTI-BULLYING RULES
![Page 26: Sakai Intermediate School Tuesday, October 25, 2011](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815ea2550346895dcd3162/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Two facilitators per classroom. The time is used for team building activities

What can defenders do under these circumstances?◦ Tell the students who are bullying to stop.◦ Invite the student who was bullied to join your
group.◦ Offer to go with the student to report the bullying◦ Avoid joining in the bullying.◦ Avoid supporting the bullying, by not laughing, etc.
Sometimes students don’t play the role of defender because they think they will have to befriend someone who is being bullied.
Discussion Questions for the Bullying Circle Exercise

Share your concern with your child’s teacher, the principal, counselor, or dean of students.
Talk with your child. Ask questions:◦ How is it going at school?◦ Friends treating you okay? Other students?
Try to find out more about your child’s school life in general.
What can you do if you think your child is being bullied?
![Page 33: Sakai Intermediate School Tuesday, October 25, 2011](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815ea2550346895dcd3162/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Make it clear you take bullying seriously and that it’s not okay.
Develop clear family rules and expectations. Spend time with your child, monitor
activities. Know who his/her friends are and how free time is spent.
Build on your child’s talents. Share concerns with school personnel. If your child needs help, talk with a
professional.
What if your child is bullying others?
![Page 34: Sakai Intermediate School Tuesday, October 25, 2011](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815ea2550346895dcd3162/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Bullying affects everyone at school. Students who aren’t directly involved have a key role to play in stopping and preventing bullying.
Ask them:◦ What are your thoughts about bullying?◦ Do you see bullying?◦ What do you do when you see it?◦ What did you talk about in COHO time today?◦ How could you include someone who is being left out?◦ What can parents do to help stop bullying?
What if your child isn’t involved in bullying?
![Page 35: Sakai Intermediate School Tuesday, October 25, 2011](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815ea2550346895dcd3162/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
It’s the right thing to do. Students who are safe will perform better academically.
It’s the law: RCW 28A.300.285 Board policy (2320)
Why do we respond to all reports of bullying?
