Safe Space Support Checklist
We believe harassment and bullying should never be tolerated, and that our schools and communities should always strive to be a safe place for all students. We encourage students, staff, and parents to report all incidents of harassment and bullying so that the school can address them before the situation escalates. Please consult with your parents, teachers, and administration for support. These resources may help.
