I am ready to re-organize and meet with our SWAT Team for the 11-12 school year! Last year, I worked with a team of about 15 students to analyze and address issues related to bullying. We will continue that work this year and of course invite new students to join us. Our first meeting will take place on Friday during Hawk Time.
It is unfortunate that we have students who participate in bullying behavior. Through SWAT, I want our students to understand that it is wrong to tease, make fun of others, spread rumors, and horse-play. We also want our students to have the courage to not become the silent bystander. The SWAT Team will help me determine the best way to address these problems. They will also encourage their peers to show a true Hawk Attitude by treating others with respect and demonstrating tolerance for the differences that we all possess!
We currently have an online reporting form on our website. If you know of an instance where a student is being bullied or harrassed, click on the SWAT Report Form on our school website and tell us about. We want every student to feel safe and to know that Williams Middle School is a Center of Academic Excellence where differences are celebrated. Go Hawks!
