Bullying
October is National Bullying Prevention Month, a time when communities come together and stand up against bullying. Unfortunately, young people experience bullying every day from their peers at school, in their neighborhoods and online. At Great Lakes Learning Academy, we strive to create a culture that stands up to bullying and prioritizes kindness and acceptance. We encourage all students to say something if they see or experience any form of bullying. GLLA supports the Michigan OK2Say program. This program is a confidential way for students to report issues of bullying, potential harm, or other activities directed at students, school employees and schools. for more information, and to report a tip, please go to this link.
