Bullying Prevention Home

We are ALL Chargers!

Every student deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. Let's work together to create a bullying-free environment where everyone can be happy, healthy, and successful.

The goal of Northwest Allen County Schools is to partner with parents and empower students to take responsibility for their actions and words by teaching and modeling pro-social skills and empathy.

We encourage students to "treat people right and do the right thing" daily, whether in person or online.

To make a report of bullying, contact a building administrator or guidance counselor.

If you believe that you or another student is in immediate danger, contact the Allen County Sheriff's Department non-emergency number: (260) 449-3000
