Bullying Awareness
In refrence to bullying, CM Macdonell Elementary will follow the reporting procedures below in order to create a safe, caring, and nurturing school environment.
We will listen to the teacher, student, staff, or parent who is reporting the bullying.
We will document and refer the student to the counselor or administrator depending on the severity of the situation and an investigation will be done.
Counselor will speak to the affected students separately.
If the situation is not a bullying case, then the student will meet for conflict resolution with the counselor.
If it is a case of bullying, the parent of the perpetrator will be contacted by phone and a parent conference will be held. The administrator will follow the necessary proper discipinary actions and the student will face the necessary consequences. The student will fill out an anti-bullying contract where he/she agrees to stop any further bullying. If necessary, LISD police will be present when signing of contract.
Teachers will be notified of the bullying incident and child will be moved from seating and from classroom if needed.
Monitoring of the victim will take place and increased supervision of the perpetrator will be done.
Additional counseling classes will be conducted on the different types of Bullying. Ultimately, CM Macdonell Elementary will establish a safe and nurturing learning environment and bullying will not be tolerated.
What can I do as a parent if my son or daughter is a victim of alleged bullying?
If you suspect that your child or any other student is a victim of bullying, LISD has an electronic reporting bullying incident form that can be accessed with the link below, or you can go to the campus where the incident occurred to report it to a counselor or administrator. If you prefer to remain anonymous, the forms are readily available at the campus front desk, or you may use the online anonymous reporting form in the link below. The administrator will investigate the incident to determine if the act or pattern of acts meets the definition of bullying described by the Texas Education Code. 😊
