M.C. Knoll’s Bullying Policy
The act of bullying must meet all three components of 1. Repetition 2. Harm is caused 3. A power
imbalance is present. It usually involves three individuals or groups: the bully, the victim and the
bystander. Bullying can take different forms including: Verbal (taunts, name-calling, threats,
intimidation), Emotional (exclusion, gossip), Physical (assault), Cyber (text and instant messaging,
technology).

We have the right to expect that… We have the responsibility to…


 the members of the school will  know the definition of bullying that
respond to bullying incidents our school follows
 that our school will be safe  act in a way that ensures the safety
 that relationships within our school of everyone in our school
and on the playground are friendly,  be kind, courteous and respectful
caring and respectful  Stand up against bullying and report
all incidents.

How M.C.K. “Stands Up” Against Bullying


Teachers and parents of both the bullied and the bullies can play a crucial role in preventing,
identifying, and stopping bullying. Creating safe, stress-free environments at home and at school
can help prevent the tension and anxiety that can lead to bullying. Change comes with student
learning, and all of us need to play a role in making this change.

Rights & Responsibilities of the M.C. Knoll Community


At M.C. Knoll, there is a zero tolerance towards bullying. Bullying needs to be reported. There is no
single solution to bullying or best way to handle a bully. It may take some experimenting with a
variety of different responses to find the strategy that works best for your situation. These strategies
may involve the victim, the bully and the bystander.
