Bullying Prevention Information

If you hear from your student about bullying, please contact your building principal, teacher or counselor. Remember, not all incidents are bullying incidents.  

There is conflict in every social environment that usually can be de-escalated by the homeroom teacher.  Please read the Parent-Student Handbook for more information.

 

  • Based on our philosophy that Catholic Schools have been established to provide an environment of faith, which brings all of life together within the grace and love of God, we have established the anti-bullying policy set forth. The Salina Diocese Catholic Schools views bullying as unchristian behavior, and it will not be tolerated.

  • Bullying is aggressive behavior that is intentional, severe or persistent, creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive environment, and that results in the following:

    • actual physical or mental harm
    • reasonable fear of physical or mental harm
    • actual damage to property
    • reasonable fear of damage to property
