This page is for principals and school leaders who need the whole picture on one page: what the Safe School Program follow-up is, what it asks of your staff, what your school gets, and how the first 90 days unfold.
What the Follow-Up Program Is
The Safe School Program is the post-assembly follow-up for schools. The assembly gets students thinking about kindness and about the role of bystanders. The follow-up turns that moment into a habit: regular classroom exercises, monthly whole-school events, clear reporting routes, and surveys that show whether things are actually improving.
What It Costs in Staff Time
In honest, general terms: this is a light, shared load, not a new subject to teach. A small committee keeps it moving, teachers run one short classroom exercise a week, and the school keeps the message visible with announcements and monthly events. No prices are listed here, and no extra staffing is assumed — the work fits inside the school day, spread across the team, rather than falling on one person.
What Your School Gets
- Classroom exercises by age group — PRIMARY K-3, Intermediate 4-6, and Middle/High School 7-12.
- Surveys to measure where you start and how far you have come — see the UNLIMITED online surveys.
- A committee guide — form your team with the Anti-Bullying Committee page.
- Parent involvement through Parent Involvement and the Mentoring Program.
- Announcement scripts on the MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS page, plus banner, shirt day, and pledge ideas for monthly events.
The Timeline
- Week 1: Kick Off Day, form the committee, run the pre-survey, and take the PLEDGE.
- Weeks 2–4: One classroom exercise each week, by age group.
- Every month: A theme or event — banner, shirt day, morning announcements, and teacher recognition.
- Day 90: Re-survey, compare with the pre-survey, and use the results to choose your next focus.
