At Gold Rush Elementary we use CASEL approved framework such as:
Using these resources we teach our students further about Social Emotional Wellness, Mindfulness, Kindness and Bully Prevention.
If you've been, or know someone else who has been, a target of bullying behavior (see definition below), you can contact a trusted adult (teacher, counselor, etc.), your school principal, or contact Gold Rush's main line 303-387-7700.
The Colorado Department of Education defines bullying as:
"Any written or verbal expression, or physical or electronic act or gesture, or a pattern thereof, that is intended to coerce, intimidate, or cause any physical, mental, or emotional harm to any student."
"School bullying researchers typically define bullying by highlighting three components that differentiate it from other forms of aggression: the behavior is intentional, repeated or likely to be repeated, and marked by an imbalance of power."
"Bullying is not teasing, fights between students of equal power, or conflict. When students tease one another, it is meant to be affectionate and not cause harm. Often, students who bully do not want to be caught and will claim that they are only teasing another student. Signs that indicate teasing is actually bullying include, (a) the teasing is hostile instead of affectionate, (b) the student teasing intends to hurt the student being teased, and (c) the student being teased is harmed by the behavior."
Gold Rush Elementary follows the Douglas County School District Bullying Policy.
