At Kenneth Henderson Middle School, students
are encouraged to report any incident of bullying to an adult,
including counselors, teachers, parents, and administration.
Bullying may be any gesture, written, verbal, or physical act where the
perpetrator demonstrates an intent to harm by engaging in intentional,
severe, persistent, or pervasive conduct that physically harms a student
or damages a student's property; places a
student in reasonable fear of physical harm or insults or demeans any
student or group of student. Look for these signs at home or in the
classroom and report to a counselor or administrator if you suspect your
child is being bullied:
