We ask you to partner with us to address this problem and to ensure that our schools are safe and positive places for growing and learning.
It is the policy of the Granite Falls School District committed to maintaining a safe and civil educational environment for all students, staff, volunteers, contractors, vendors or board members free from harassment, intimidation, and bullying.

This means any image or message (written, electronic or verbal) or physical act that is intended to harm or intimidate and has the effect to substantially interfere with a student's education or create an intimidating or threatening educational environment, or substantially disrupts the orderly operation of the school. Harassment, intimidation, and bullying in any form are unacceptable and are against District policy and state and federal law. Students who engage in such activity on school grounds or off-campus, and disrupts school operations or the learning environment, shall be subject to school disciplinary action and possible criminal prosecution. Any student who believes he or she has been the target of harassment, intimidation, or bullying is strongly encouraged to report incidents verbally or in writing to a parent, guardian, staff member or trusted adult. The student, parent, or other adult, should notify school officials as soon as possible and complete an incident report form.
