Bullying Procedures

What you should do if you or someone you know is being bullied.

1) Report the bullying incident to an adult and ask to go to the RTC for a student statement paper.
2) Ask to complete a student statement paper. These papers can be obtained from the RTC or the counseling office.
a. By completing a student statement paper you will be providing the school with the information necessary to investigate the incident and take measures if needed.
b. The student statement paper will ask you where the incident happened, who was involved, what happened, and who else may have seen or heard what happened.
c. Once the students statement paper has been filled out and turned in, witnesses will be called to fill out a statement paper as well. By filling these statements out, the school will have all of the information regarding the incident and will be in a position to deal with the incident.
d. Students names are not shared with anyone. The only staff members who will see the papers are the RTC coordinator, the counselor, and the principal.

3) If you witness an incident, please report it.
4) Clare Middle School takes bullying very seriously and will deal with it if we are informed about it. Many times incidents occur and we are not made aware of them until the situation gets out of hand.
5) We need your help, please help us help your child enjoy their time at Clare Middle School and take advantage of the opportunities we are able to present to them.
