Expect Respect is a bullying prevention program used in all Cobb County School District’s middle and high schools. Expect Respect is designed to empower students to positively impact the social environment in their school. The program’s goal is to create an environment where everyone feels safe from socially aggressive behaviors, such as bullying and harassment. Simpson Middle School staff and students will be learning a set of specific skills to use so that the entire school is equipped to address these issues if they arise. The Cobb County School District has provided guidance on how to rollout this new program, and one of the first steps is to form a Student Advisory Council that will serve as an integral part of this program.
