Students who believe that they have been bullied or have witnessed bullying are strongly encouraged to bring up their concerns by either filing a report using our online Incident Reporting System (link below), by calling the school or district, or by reporting in person to any staff member.
When you make a report using the online Incident Reporting System, you can remain anonymous, or you have the option to identify yourself and communicate with the administration.
Incident reports are received by administration when they are filed and are reviewed as soon as possible. All reports are taken seriously and are acted upon in a timely manner. As each incident is different, each will warrant a different reaction and timeline for action.
