In an effort to further collaborate with the families in our community, the district is offering an informative session on Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying (HIB) on April 23, 2024, at 6:30PM, in the auditorium at Crossroads North Middle School.
In this session parents will be provided with:

-the difference between Code of Conduct and HIB violations;
-the recent changes to the law, as well as some court cases that impact how the laws are applied;
-information on free speech and social media issues and requirements;
-the procedures to be followed should a student be a victim or perpetrator in a bullying case; and
-the rights of students and unique procedures for certain students, including LGBTQ students and students with disabilities.
