Students are expected not to harass others verbally and physically.

All staff members have been trained to take bullying and harassment seriously. There are also several student behavior expectations that address bullying and harassment:

                   * Use kind words (no teasing, put-downs, rumors, or shunning)

                   * Keep hands, feet, bodies and objects to yourself

Students are reminded that if teasing or physical contact is persistent or severe, it can be considered one of the four Chapter 19 categories of "Harassment" (verbal, physical, racial, sexual). A harassment infraction is a class B offense, and an automatic office referral.

            It is important for students or parents to notify a teacher or administrator if a child is being harassed in any way.

Respect for Property – Students are expected to treat all property belonging to the school and to others with care.

Freedom from Fear – Students are expected to contribute to a safe environment free from fear. Acts of violence, weapons and contraband are never acceptable.
