BMS Stands Up to Bullying
Middle School can be a challenging time for students socially. We see friend groups shift, students seeking independence from their parents and caregivers, and a rise in unkind and bullying behavior.
At Bourne Middle School, communication is key to supporting students and stopping any bullying behavior.
Students should seek out a trusted teacher, counselor, or administrator to report any bullying. The sooner we know about an issue, the sooner we can help! Students often assume we know that something is happening. This is not always the case - please help your student report bullying to us so we can support them.
Students and caregivers can report to us in person, via email, or using the Bullying Reporting Form.
For more information, please see the Bourne Public Schools Bullying Prevention & Intervention Plan
