RMS Strives for Bully-Free Environment
At Rolla Middle School, we are continuing to strive to make ours a bully-free environment. We work to address the issues of bullying and student conflict through a guidance curriculum in classrooms which emphasizes: the different forms of bullying, sexual harassment, racial/diversity issues related to bullying, the bystander's role in bullying, positive student assertiveness, healthy relationships, and conflict resolution.
We also strongly encourage the use of and endorse the Stop Bullying Now program by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources. Feel free to view the accompanying website to find out more information about this curriculum to discuss bullying with your child.
