  4. So, what is being done to improve this situation? Where is the school headed? Here are some of the programs that have been implemented to educate the students and raise awareness in our school. 6th Grade        When Friends Mean Trouble (VHS) This goal of When Friends Mean Trouble is to get middle-school students to look at friendship in a more critical way and help them see that peer pressure can often lead young people into many kinds of “trouble”. Gossiping, Taunting, Bullying:  It’s All Harassment (VHS) This Program is designed to help students: Recognize various forms of harassment. Learn appropriate responses as victims of harassment Learn appropriate responses as witnesses of harassment Understand bystander responsibility to try to prevent harassment Learn coping techniques to deal with the pain caused by harassment

  5. 7th Grade Using Your Wits:  Strategies to Stop Bullying (DVD) Bullying is a reality in the lives of children, whether they are bullies, victims, or witnesses.  Children need to know what to do when bullying occurs.  This program will provide students with workable strategies for handling conflicts – whether they are being bullied by someone else, or even if they are the bully, how they can have their needs met appropriately Silent on the Sidelines:  Why We Ignore Bullying (DVD) This program is designed to help teens seen what can happen when a group of students decide to exert their power and not tolerate bullying behavior.  They CAN “Take Charge” and make their school “bully-free.”

  6. 8th Grade • Bully Girls (DVD) • Traditionally, bullying has meant physical intimidation and violence – and in the past was considered a problem only among boys.  Experts now know that girls can perpetuate bullying as well.  This program focuses on increasing awareness of bullying among girls and educating students how to recognize and report incidents of bullying and how to avoid or stop it. • 7 Ways to Block a CyberBully (DVD) • Cyberbullies don’t shove kids on the playground or steal lunch money, but they are just as dangerous.  This program details seven effective strategies for dealing with a digital bully.  • The plan includes: • Understanding the e-bully • Protecting your passwords • Guarding personal information • Using safety software • Cutting off communications • Saying “no” to revenge • Telling an adult you trust

  7. Keene Junior High School Promotes a Bully Free Environment! • Keene Junior High School staff and students are concerned about the nationwide problem of bullying that sometimes happens in schools.  They are aware that bullying often happens during the Middle School and High School years.  • Recently, our School Resource Officer, Deputy Talley, visited all the classrooms in the Keene Junior High School (grades 6 – 8).  She talked to the students about what bullying is and how harmful bullying can be.  She explained that bullying is being hurt by someone physically, mentally or emotionally, and said that these behaviors are not appropriate anytime or anywhere.  She told us sometimes students say or do things that hurt others and they may not know it or think about it.  She went on to say that there are consequences in place for those who bully others and do not stop when asked to.  These may include a visit to the principal’s office, a warning, a citation or ticket and possibly even a court appearance. • The Keene Junior High Counselor, Mrs. Yates, gives classroom presentations and uses video and DVD resources with our 6th – 8th grade students to encourage them to treat each other with respect and promote a Bully Free environment.

  8. Ms. Archer, KJH Vice Principal, discusses the topic of bullying in her 7th grade Teen Leadership class and encourages her students to be leaders by taking a stand against bullying and standing up for students who are being bullied. • Anti-bullying posters are displayed throughout the school. • Ms. Hopps, KJH Principal, takes bullying very seriously.  She strives to maintain a Bully Free Campus and frequently reminds students during daily announcements to be kind to each other with the “Words of Wisdom” Good Character messages and “The Beginning of a Hero / Bully Alert program” by Jim Lord and sponsored by State Farm Texas. • We are proud of our Bully Free Zone and Safe School Environment at Keene • Junior High School. Our teachers, staff, and students continually work hard • to keep it that way.
