Bullying Prevention
麻w豆传媒' Bullying Policy
Our Bullying Prevention Policy can be found under Title IX: Harassment, Intimidation, Discrimination, and Bullying Policy Information.
Cyberbullying Prevention Procedures
麻w豆传媒 advises students:
- To never share passwords, personal data, or private photos online.
- To think about what they are doing carefully before posting and by emphasizing that comments cannot be retracted once they are posted.
- That personal information revealed on social media can be shared with anyone including parents, teachers, administrators, and potential employers. Students should never reveal information that would make them uncomfortable if the world had access to it.
- To consider how it would feel receiving such comments before making comments about others online.
麻w豆传媒 informs Charter School employees, students, and parents/guardians of 麻w豆传媒’ policies regarding the use of technology in and out of the classroom. 麻w豆传媒 encourages parents/guardians to discuss these policies with their children to ensure their children understand and comply with such policies.
Education
麻w豆传媒 employees cannot always be present when bullying incidents occur, so educating students about bullying is a key prevention technique to limit bullying from happening. 麻w豆传媒 advises students that hateful and/or demeaning behavior is inappropriate and unacceptable in our society and at 麻w豆传媒 and encourages students to practice compassion and respect each other.
Charter School educates students to accept all student peers regardless of protected characteristics (including but not limited to actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identification, physical or cognitive disabilities, race, ethnicity, religion, and immigration status) and about the negative impact of bullying other students based on protected characteristics.
麻w豆传媒’ bullying prevention education also discusses the differences between appropriate and inappropriate behaviors and includes sample situations to help students learn and practice appropriate behavior and to develop techniques and strategies to respond in a non- aggressive way to bullying-type behaviors. Students will also develop confidence and learn how to advocate for themselves and others, and when to go to an adult for help.
麻w豆传媒 informs 麻w豆传媒 employees, students, and parents/guardians of this Policy and encourages parents/guardians to discuss this Policy with their children to ensure their children understand and comply with this Policy.
