RRGSD Bullying Prevention
There's no room for bullying in Roanoke Rapids Graded Schools.
We want our school buildings to be a safe and supportive place for all students.
Bullying can include behaviors such as:
Physical violence and attacks
Extortion and theft
Taunts, name-calling and put-downs
Peer group exclusion
Threats and intimidation
Cyberbullying
Any student that believes he or she has been harassed or bullied should report it immediately to a teacher, counselor or school administrator. Any school employee made aware of bullying has been instructed to report it to the principal.
How you can help if your child is being bullied
Be supportive.
Listen, get the facts, and assess your child's feelings.
Let your child know that it's not his or her fault.
Praise your child for discussing the bullying.
Find out what your child feels he or she needs to feel safe.
Communicate with your school by contacting administration
Let them know the who, what, when and where.
Let school officials contact the other child's parents.
Talk regularly with your child and school to assess whether the bullying has stopped.
Encourage and support your child in making friends.
