Bullying Prevention

MISD believes that a safe and civil environment is necessary for students to learn and attain high academic standards, as well as to promote healthy relationships. We believe bullying, intimidation, violence, and other disruptive behavior are detrimental to the establishment of a safe and civil learning environment. MISD prohibits bullying, including cyber bullying, as defined by state law. If you feel your child is experiencing bullying, it is important to make a report as soon as possible after the alleged act or knowledge of the alleged act. Reports can be made to the teacher, school counselor, principal or other campus employee. Reports can also be made online via Anonymous Alerts. Students and parents can download the Anonymous Alerts app to any Smartphone. Look for the RED Anonymous Alerts logo when searching apps.
