Bullying prevention assemblies for Rhode Island elementary, middle and high schools
Rhode Island’s compact geography makes coordinated dates possible across Providence, the East Bay, northern communities, South County and Aquidneck Island. Yet urban, suburban, independent and coastal schools still have distinct student needs and schedules.
State-Specific Planning
Rhode Island schools can build a coordinated sequence that separates age groups while giving staff a common response framework. Planning should include language access, private support options and how families will receive the message.
Jim Jordan’s programs are organized by developmental stage rather than delivered as one generic speech. The goal is to give students language they can understand, give bystanders several safe choices and help every audience connect the program with the trusted adults already available in its own school.
District, charter, independent, Christian and Catholic schools can ask about student assemblies, educator training and parent presentations. The booking conversation establishes what fits the school; this page does not imply a previous partnership with any named Rhode Island district or campus.

Programs Available
Choose one audience or build a coordinated day in which every group receives examples, pacing and participation suited to its role.
Grades PK-2
An action-packed, age-appropriate anti-bullying assembly built for pre-K through second grade. Magic, storytelling and audience participation teach young learners how to be a good friend, how to speak up, and how to ask a trusted adult for help.
Grades 3-5
Intermediate students learn to recognize the different forms of bullying, to intervene safely as bystanders, and to report without fear. The program shifts attention toward the majority of students who want bullying to stop and shows them practical ways to help.
Grades 6-8
Middle school is where social dynamics get complicated and where bullying moves onto phones. This assembly meets students where they are, with a high-energy presentation on cyberbullying, digital citizenship and the courage to intervene.
Grades 9-12
High school students do not need to be told bullying is wrong. They need a reason to act. This assembly challenges students to own the culture of their campus and gives them practical ways to influence it.
Faculty & Staff
Teachers are central to a safe school culture. This professional development session defines staff roles in bullying prevention, explores response and investigation practices, and discusses how to support students and work constructively with families.
Parents & Families
An evening keynote for parents and guardians covering bullying prevention, cyberbullying, digital safety, communication at home, and warning signs that may warrant a closer conversation. Parents leave with practical next steps rather than generic advice.
After the Assembly
Nearby schools may share professional learning resources, but each campus should choose its own follow-up owner and review point. Student voice can guide inclusion projects without exposing individual experiences.
Effective follow-up does not require students to disclose personal experiences in front of classmates. Schools can use fictional scenarios, private reflection and clear adult referral options. When a concern involves safety or an individual student, it belongs with trained school personnel following school and district procedures.
Before the Assembly
Staff should know the purpose of the program, the grade-specific language students will hear and the support contacts available after the event. Families benefit from a concise explanation of the topic, the school’s reporting route and a few questions they can use at home.
The school can also identify accessibility, language, sensory, mobility and schedule needs during planning. Those details help the program reach more students without putting individual children or their experiences on display.
Tour Routing
Rhode Island travel is compact but bridge traffic, city access and island locations affect timing. Exact dismissal and entry details help.
Provide the full campus address, preferred date range, grade levels, expected attendance and whether the request includes high school anti-bullying assembly, educator training, a parent evening or several student sessions. The office can then respond with actual availability and pricing.
Travel costs and dates depend on the real route. No statewide flat travel claim or unverified local availability is presented on this page.
Ask About RI DatesPolicy and Local Procedures
An educational assembly is not legal advice and does not replace school policy, investigation procedures or required student supports. Before the event, the planning team should review current state guidance, district rules and the school’s reporting process. The federal StopBullying.gov state laws and policies directory is a useful starting point for locating current official information.

Middle schoolers can be a tough crowd, but Jim Jordan completely won them over. His interactive approach and relatable stories kept them engaged throughout the entire presentation. He addressed the complexities of bullying in a way that resonated with their age group, acknowledging the peer pressure and social dynamics involved. The follow-up activities he suggested are fantastic and have already proven useful in our classroom. A truly impactful assembly.
Wow, that is the best school assembly we have ever had. All the teachers were coming up to me and asking “where did you find this guy?” Great job.
