The administration and counseling staff will
take every reasonable measure to investigate bullying incidents of our
students. The school will enforce its handbook provisions if the
bullying occurs on campus or negatively impacts the school learning
environment through substantial disruption of instruction. For instances
of off campus bullying or cyber bullying we recommend contacting the
appropriate law enforcement agency servicing your residence. Any
harassment or bullying incidents on or off campus may be referred to the
School Resource Officer for possible law enforcement intervention as
appropriate.
If you think your child is being bullied please take the following steps:
- Instruct your student to immediately contact an administrator or teacher if they feel they have been harassed or bullied.
- Speak to your child about the specifics of the incident
so that they may relay that information to the school administration.
If possible, please note the alleged bully and any associates, any
participants and/or witnesses to the incident, time and location of the
incident(s), and the nature of the bullying itself
(physical/non-physical, verbal/non-verbal, cyber bullying, etc). School
administrators will use this information in an attempt to verify the
incident and take appropriate action.
- If possible, please provide copies or screen images of
any alleged cyber bullying for use by the administration during their
investigation. If it’s a case of verbal abuse, please have the voice
mail or message available for administrative review.
- Do not hesitate to notify school administrators or
counselors of suspected harassment or bullying. Dealing with the
incidents as soon as possible enables the administration/counseling
staff to prevent potential incidents with other students.
- Be prepared to speak to our School Resource Officer for possible law enforcement intervention.
