Any student or parent/caregiver can report a suspected act of bullying, harassment, intimidation, or dating violence to any school employee by completing the Report of Suspected Bullying Behaviors or Teen Dating Violence Form. This form may be turned in directly to a school administrator or to a teacher or staff member who will submit the form to a school administrator who will follow up on the report. Mean-spirited behavior can seriously impact the ability of a person to feel safe and comfortable at school. Any act of bullying or threatening and intimidating behavior will not be tolerated. All incidents reported will be fully investigated, but not every incident will result in school discipline, depending on the specific facts of each case.
