Anti-Bullying
The Moraga School District believes that all students have a right to a safe and healthy school environment. The district, schools, and community have an obligation to promote mutual respect, tolerance, and acceptance. The Moraga School District shall not tolerate behavior that infringes on the safety of any student. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner keeping with their levels of development, maturity, and demonstrated capabilities with a proper regard for the rights and welfare of other students, school staff, volunteers, contractors and property.
The District prohibits both active and passive acts of bullying. The District shall encourage students to constructively attempt to stop bullying, report bullying to the designated authority, or walk away from bullying if it puts them in an unsafe situation. The Moraga School District expects students and/or staff to immediately report incidents of bullying to the principal or designee. The Moraga School District will cultivate acceptance and understanding in all students and staff to build each school's capacity to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment.
Each school adopts a Student Code of Conduct to be followed by every student while on school grounds, or when traveling to and from school or a school-sponsored activity, and during lunch period. The Student Code of Conduct shall include, but is not limited to:
- Any student who engages in bullying will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion.
- Students are expected to immediately report incidents of bullying to a teacher, the principal, or a principal’s designee.
- At Rheem, we model language and strategies that support appropriate responses to mistreatment. We also empower students to resolve small conflicts by following these easy steps:
- Ignore the behavior
- Tell the person to stop
- Walk away
- Tell an adult
