Blind Brook Bully Prevention Program Includes New Advisory Period

This spring, students at Blind Brook Middle School will attend a new weekly Advisory Period as part of the district’s implementation of the Olweus Bully Prevention Program (OBPP). During this period, students will interact and share their thoughts on various themes centered on bullying. The meetings are held outside of the classroom to encourage students to share and open up about issues they face.

Twenty-four groups were created consisting of 15-17 students and a teacher advisor. In order to ensure diversity within each group, students of different backgrounds and interests were assigned to each group. Advisory Groups will meet once a week for twenty-five minutes.

The OBPP is being used throughout the school district. The goal is to teach students to be tolerant and respectful of other people and their differences.
