MSA-San Diego students had a presentation on bullying put on by Harmonium counseling program.
The 3rd Annual Comet Cook-off was a delicious success
MSA Parents,
Unfortunately in recent weeks, there has been an increase in incidents
involving inappropriate behavior on campus, especially bullying. The
administration and staff as a whole have had several lengthy discussions
regarding this matter. MSA has always placed an extremely high emphasis on
maintaining a safe campus and providing the students with information and
skills to support strong character development. While the vast majority of our
students conduct themselves admirably and appropriately on a daily basis, with
the increase in incidences, here are some measures being taken in a continued
attempt to reduce the behaviors mentioned above:
Bullying presentation put on
by our Harmonium Counseling program
Displaying anti-bullying
posters throughout the campus
Providing the students with
an “anonymous incident reporting box” to avoid being labeled a “tattle
tale” or “snitch”
Implementing a poster board
in the lunch area where students can sign a “pledge to take a stand
against bullying.”
Support from our school
counselor working with victims of bullying and students who bully others
Frequent reminders from the
administration and staff regarding consequences for those who bully or
fight on campus
Aside from just
informing you of what is being done by the school staff, this message is also
an attempt to ask that you all continue to emphasize the importance of taking a
stand against bullying and not participating in inappropriate behavior on
campus. The phenomenon that is bullying in schools is very much a reality, and
it takes a collective effort from the staff, students, parents and community
members to help reduce the amount of incidents that occur on a particular
campus. On behalf of the entire MSA family, thank you for taking the time to
read this letter, and more importantly, thank you for doing your part in
helping to make MSA a safe and enjoyable place to be.
