Did You Know?

Bullying Is a Form of Abuse
Did you know that bullying is a form of abuse, and therefore is forbidden in our Catholic schools? Bullying typically consists of direct behaviors, such as teasing, taunting, threatening, hitting, shoving and stealing. But it might also be indirect, such as spreading rumors that cause victims to be socially isolated through intentional exclusion. Cyberbullying, which involves the use of the Internet or mobile phones to send inappropriate messages and images to or about others, is also behavior that is not tolerated in our Catholic schools. If you suspect bullying of a child at school, please contact the school principal with your concerns.

For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at (213) 637-7650.

Hostigamiento Es Una Forma De Abuso
¿Sabia usted que el hostigamiento (bullying) es una forma de abuso,  y por lo tanto esta prohibido en las escuelas catolicas?  El hostigamineto suele consistir en bromas pesadas, burlas, amenazas, golpes, empujones, y el robo.  Pero tambien pude ser indirecta, como la difusion de rumores que causan a las victimas a ser socialmente aislados a traves de ser excluidas socialmente. El acoso cibernetico, que implica el uso de la Internet o los telefonos celulares para enviar mensajes o imagenes inapropiadas de personas o a personas, tambien es un comportamineto que no se tolera en nuestras escuelas Catolicas.   Si usted sospecha que algun estudiante es victima de hostigamiento, inmediatamente comunique sus preocupaciones al director de la escuela.

Para obtener ayuda, llame a la Oficina del Ministerio de Asistencia al (213) 637-7650.
