Bullying Prevention
All students and staff deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to learn and teach. Steilacoom School District is committed to the prevention of harassment, intimidation, and bullying (Policy 3207) in our schools.
How do I report Bullying?
If any student feels he/she has been harassed or bullied, the incident should be reported immediately to a teacher, school counselor, or principal. Students may:
- Talk with any adult staff member about their concerns
-
Complete the District Incident Reporting Form and return it to their school principal
-
Report the incident using Vector Alert Tip Reporting System online reporting form
-
Report the incident by text at 855.745.3674 or email at 1341@alert1.us
Harassment (based on protected class) and sexual harassment can be forms of discrimination when it creates a hostile environment.
What will the school do when they receive a report? All staff are responsible for receiving both oral and written reports. Whenever possible, staff who initially receive the report will attempt to resolve the incident immediately. Upon receiving the District's Incident Reporting Form or notification from Safe School Alerts, the school will conduct an investigation.
