Report Bullying
Bullying and cyberbullying is serious and will not be tolerated. There is a form on the school’s website to report alleged bullying that occurs on school property, at a school-sponsored event off school property, on a school bus, on the way to and/or from school, or online through social media. If you are a student, parent/guardian, teacher, or other staff member and wish to report an incident of alleged bullying, complete the entire form and respond only to questions that you feel comfortable answering and are able to answer accurately. Students may choose to include their name on the form or may submit the form anonymously. Please note that the district’s ability to investigate an anonymous complaint may be limited, and the district prohibits retaliation against anyone who files a bullying report.
Report Unsafe Behavior
Unsafe behavior includes verbal and physical bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, weapons on campus, and any action that can cause harm to oneself and/or others. All students need to report actions and behavior that cause personal discomfort in the classroom, on school property, and through online interactions. If you are not sure whether a situation is considered unsafe, speak with a teacher, administrator, counselor, parent, or trusted adult. Talking and consulting with a trusted adult can help you decide what to do.
