New York Anti-Bullying Assemblies from City Schools to Upstate Districts
Bullying prevention assemblies for New York elementary, middle and high schools
New York includes New York City’s complex school system, Long Island districts, Hudson Valley communities and wide-ranging upstate regions from the Capital District to western and northern New York. A single statewide description cannot capture those schedules or student experiences.
State-Specific Planning
Building the right anti-bullying program for New York
New York schools should identify borough or region, building access, grade configuration, audience size and follow-up staff before requesting a date. The program can support existing dignity, climate and reporting work without making claims about legal compliance.
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 New York district or campus.

Age-appropriate anti-bullying options for New York schools
Choose one audience or build a coordinated day in which every group receives examples, pacing and participation suited to its role.
Grades PK-2
Primary Anti-Bullying Assembly
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 Anti-Bullying Assembly
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 Anti-Bullying Assembly
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 Anti-Bullying Assembly
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
Anti-Bullying Teacher Training
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
Parent Anti-Bullying Presentation
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
Keeping the message active in New York schools
Advisory, student support teams, family communication and activity leaders can reinforce the message. Large systems should assign a building-level owner so responsibility does not disappear inside a central-office plan.
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
Preparing New York educators and families
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
Scheduling an anti-bullying speaker in New York
New York travel is built around a specific region—city, Long Island, Hudson Valley, Capital Region, central, western or northern New York. Rail, airport, traffic and rural drive times all matter.
Provide the full campus address, preferred date range, grade levels, expected attendance and whether the request includes middle school anti-bullying assembly, educator training, a parent evening or several student sessions. The office can then respond with actual availability and pricing.

Connect the presentation with current New York and district guidance
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. Review the federal StopBullying.gov summary of New York anti-bullying laws and policies as a sourced starting point, then confirm current requirements with the state education agency and the district before the program.

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.

They are more aware of the different forms of bullying, and they are more confident in speaking up when they see it happening. Jim’s message of empathy and compassion has created a more positive and inclusive school environment for everyone.
New York FAQ

What makes an anti-bullying assembly useful for New York schools?
New York schools should identify borough or region, building access, grade configuration, audience size and follow-up staff before requesting a date. The program can support existing dignity, climate and reporting work without making claims about legal compliance. The school should connect each student message to its own trusted-adult and reporting process.
Can Jim Jordan present in New York City and other parts of New York?
New York travel is built around a specific region—city, Long Island, Hudson Valley, Capital Region, central, western or northern New York. Rail, airport, traffic and rural drive times all matter. Schools in New York City, Western New York and the other communities listed here should send their exact city, grade levels, audience size and preferred date range so the office can confirm what is possible.
Should a New York school use one presentation for every grade?
Usually, separate age groups create a stronger learning experience. One useful New York planning priority is to name the exact new york region. Primary, intermediate, middle and high school students also need different examples and participation choices.
How should New York educators prepare before the speaker arrives?
Staff should review the school's own definitions, reporting routes, support contacts and response responsibilities. For this New York plan, the team should also share building access details and brief adults on the language students will hear.
What should happen after an anti-bullying assembly in New York?
Advisory, student support teams, family communication and activity leaders can reinforce the message.
