This school district will be committed to providing a compassionate, receptive, and non-threatening atmosphere for each and every one of our pupils to learn and succeed. The district will have a "zero tolerance" policy against bullying, meaning that bullying of any sort is deemed completely unacceptable in our school community. If bullying does occur, students should be assured of the fact that all incidents will be addressed quickly, thoroughly, and efficiently. It is expected that anyone - whether student, educator, family member, or other school party - who witnesses or has other knowledge of an incident of bullying will report the incident to a staff member immediately and with the promise of confidentiality, if desired.
