Please call the Main Office and ask to speak with the Principal or VP.

We will investigate and attempt to resolve any issue of physical/emotional bullying.

-We have a great team of counselors and administrators who are trained to help-

We tell the students, “See something, say something.” We cannot help if we don’t know! We are all one community.

We are also very cautious and aware of levels of retaliation - perceived and real.
