Rally Meetings

Logo of the BCMS Rally Program
  • What is a Rally meeting?
    • Class meetings provide a forum for students and teachers to discuss bullying related issues, to take part in community-building activities, and to engage in conversation related to current issues impacting today’s youth.
  • When do Rally meetings take place?
    • Class meetings are held for 30 minutes. Meetings typically occur monthly.
  • Who helps to facilitate Rally meetings?
    • All teachers, support staff, and administrators are actively involved in class meetings. Every class meeting has two teachers who are responsible for running the meeting and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all students.
  • What are the purposes of Rally meetings?
    • To teach students what bullying is, the meaning of the four anti-bullying rules, and different ways of reacting when bullying occurs. It is our goal to empower students to play a positive role in reducing bullying incidents within the school community.
    • To help students learn more about themselves and their feelings and reactions, and those of their peers, and to provide them with opportunities to express their personal opinions in a relatively safe environment.
    • To build a sense of community and belonging for all students.
