Bullying Definition-- The actions of a student are INTENTIONAL, REPEATED, and HURTFUL acts, words, or other behavior which occurs in a relationship where there is an IMBALANCE OF POWER.

Please know that the teachers and administration take "bullying" incidents very seriously.  And want to remind you that there is a difference between playground conflicts and "bullying".

Peaceful Playground is a new program that was purchased with part of last year’s jog-a-thon money.  It has several components that have made it successful, and we believe that Garden Grove is the FIRST in Simi Valley to purchase the program rights.  Peaceful Playground is designed to put an end to most playground conflicts that take the fun out of games, while teaching students important life skills. Six key principles of a Peaceful Playground include:

1. Teaching students a consistent universal set of rules so that there are fewer disagreements
2. Teaching new games to all students so there are more choices. (Check out Four Corners!)
3. Teaching all students skills to solve conflicts (walk/talk/rock, paper, scissors)
4. Providing adequate equipment (new equipment has been purchased for each grade level)
5. Providing universal consistent expectations and positive reinforcement for good sportsmanship
6. Marking the playground with new age appropriate games (more to be completed soon)
