City View Junior/Senior High School

Bullying is a single significant act or a pattern of acts by one or more student directed at another student that:

• Exploits an imbalance of power;

• Involves written or verbal expression, expression through electronic means, or physical conduct;

• Has or will have the effect of physically harming a student, damaging a student's property, or placing a

• student in reasonable fear of harm;

• Is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive enough that the action or threat creates an intimidating,

• threatening, or abusive educational environment for a student;

• Materially and substantially disrupts the educational process or the 

  orderly operation of a classroom or school;

• Infringes on the rights of the victim at school.

As administrators, we strive to provide proactive and preventative programming and curriculum to prevent bullying among students. Our goal is to build students’ self-worth, help them set healthy and appropriate boundaries with one another and the people around them, and to facilitate healthy conflict resolution skills starting in 6th grade through the end of their educational career at City View. 

• Crime Stoppers Safe School program came to campus and put on a bullying presentation for our entire 6th-grade class. 

• Kidpower came out and trained our entire staff before the semester began and returned for over 42 presentations with all grade levels regarding keeping themselves safe and reporting unsafe situations to adults. 

• Capturing Kids Hearts curriculum is implemented in grades 6-8 in all of our “Teen Leadership” style classes. Students are taught the importance of being kind and encouraged to see their self-worth.
