HIB (Harassment, Intimidation & Bullying Information)

  • School Five has a zero-tolerance policy on bullying. Contact the school anti-bullying specialist if you suspect someone has been bullied.

    The Board of Education prohibits acts of harassment, intimidation or bullying. A safe and civil environment in school is necessary for pupils to learn and achieve high academic standards. Harassment, intimidation or bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that disrupts both a pupil’s ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate its pupils in a safe environment; and since pupils learn by example, school administrators, faculty, staff, and volunteers should be commended for demonstrating appropriate behavior treating others with civility and respect, and refusing to tolerate harassment, intimidation or bullying.
