Take a Stand with us Against Bullying!
This page outlines the process of any Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB) reports made at Orchard Elementary.
Our definition of bullying is:
Bullying behavior happens when someone uses his or her power to hurt another. When bullying occurs, there is intent to harm, dominate, and inflict pain, exclude, or otherwise cause the target distress. A person who is bullying uses power (size, age, confidence, and verbal ability) to hurt someone physically or emotionally. The power between the bully and the target is not equal. Bullying occurs when someone or a group keeps hurting, frightening, threatening, or leaving someone out on purpose. Bullying behaviors are unfair and one-sided. They usually take place repeatedly and over time. |
