Bullying/Harassment Policy
Bullying is a distinctive pattern of repeatedly and deliberately harming and humiliating others and is characterized by a power imbalance between the two parties. Bullying includes, but is not limited to physical or verbal aggression, relational aggression, or emotional aggression (teasing, threatening, and intimidating others). Relational aggression (RA), is a form of indirect bullying that uses social relationships to manipulate or harm others, such as isolating a student
from her group of friends (social exclusion), threatening to stop talking to a
friend (the ''silent treatment''), or spreading gossip and rumors. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, slurs, jokes, comments, or other offensive conduct relating to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic. Bullying, relational aggression (including cyber-bullying), and harassment will not be tolerated. Please use the forms below to report bullying.

Dear Lord,
We appeal to you for strength. Help us choose the vocation set for us. Help us take up our daily burden, as St. Christopher did. Help us navigate the hazards of this life. Help us manage the burdens upon our backs. See us safely to the other side, where we shall receive our promised reward. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.
