Physical Aggression and/or Bullying Policy

 

Below are the school’s automatic disciplinary actions for students who engage in or are the aggressor in a physical fight, or engage in online or in-person bullying, harassment, and/or intimidation:

 

• An automatic 5 day Principal Suspension or possibly a lengthier Superintendent’s Suspension depending on the severity of the fight or incident

• Required Mediation facilitated by Administration

• Loss of outside lunch privilege for the remainder of a students’ time at our school

• Loss of field trip privileges for the remainder of a students’ time at our school.  This includes college trips, the senior weekend overnight trip, and any other field trip scheduled by a teacher or the school

• Loss of privilege to spectate at or participate in extracurricular activities, such as, but not limited to, improv theater, dance, digital media, student government, peer leading, non-PSAL and PSAL sports and teams 

• Loss of privilege to participate in special school events, such as, but not limited to school dances, pep rallies, talent shows, awards ceremonies, student performances, prom and graduation

 

We do not want to take these privileges away, but if you choose to engage in an inappropriate and/or aggressive manner with another student you will be held accountable for making that choice.  If you are in a conflict with a peer, please reach out to your guidance counselor, or an administrator, who can assist you in resolving the conflict in an appropriate and respectful manner.

Additionally, it will not matter what grade you are in, or how close to graduation you may be, if you fight on or off of school grounds during the school day or at dismissal, these restrictions will be in place for the remainder of your time as a student at our school, or until they have been reinstated by school administration.
