Bullying Prevention
Noblesville Schools aims to ensure that all students receive a safe and meaningful education, free from bullying: physical, verbal, social/relational, electronic/written communication or any combination of such. It is our goal to educate students/staff/parents with the definition of bullying, implement bullying prevention evidence-based practices, follow reporting procedures and continually update our safe school committee in each building.
