Delano Elementary School is committed to excellence in all areas of your child’s life. Creating a safe environment for all learners is in everyone’s best interest. In an effort to aid parents in the reporting of bullying behaviors in the school setting, a new form has been added to the school’s website. It is titled, Bullying Report Form in the Information section of the Elementary site. Forms should be completed thoroughly to make the investigation process as efficient as possible. It is helpful to have as many witnesses/bystanders names and grade levels (if possible) to get a complete and clear view of the bullying incident. All reports will be received by Darren Schuler, Corey Lahr, and Michelle Krueger.
