Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Assembly Planning Center
How long should schools allow for an anti-bullying assembly?
Program length and transition time should be confirmed during booking because formats vary by grade and school schedule. Allow separate time for entry, dismissal and technical setup.
Should all grades attend one anti-bullying assembly?
Grade-banded groups are generally more useful because examples, language and pacing can match student development. Ask which program configuration fits your enrollment and schedule.
