At Reynolds Elementary, we want all students to be safe, happy, and productive in their school environment. In recent years, however, bullying behaviors among children appear to be on the rise. According to Texas House Bill 283, bullying is defined as engaging in written or verbal expression or physical conduct that "will have the effect of physically harming a student, damaging a student's property, or placing a student in reasonable fear of harm" or "is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive enough that the action or threat creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for a student."

We wish to make a concerted effort to reduce bully-type behaviors in our school.

1. We will NOT bully other students.
2. We will help students who are bullied.
3. We will include all students who are easily left out.
4. When we know someone is being bullied, we will report it to an adult.

1. Counselor will visit with student
2. Student will meet with grade-level teacher(s)
3. Grade level team will contact student parent/guardian
4. Student will receive office referral
