One of the major initiatives at the Long Valley Middle School has been the V-Free program. V-Free is an initiative that coordinates activities that are designed to eliminate youth violence, prevent vandalism, and to reduce the victimization and bullying of youth. This program involves actions and attitudes that support the establishment of a climate in which students are free of violence, vandalism, and victimization. The intent is to challenge every student in the Long Valley Middle School to become V-Free.

A variety of activities are included under the V-Free mantra that provides student and staff training as well as student recognition. These include but are not limited to the Prudential Service Awards, Violence Prevention Week April 2007, Fairview Lakes self-esteem training, Visions in Motion assemblies, Second Step character education curriculum, and a V-Free Peer Leadership program.

Student recognition is accomplished through the distribution of V-Free slips, selection of V-Free students of the month, acknowledging students on a V-Free Banner, letters of recognition to parents, and the semi-annual V-Free Recognition Luncheon.
