Re: Cyber Bullying

Hi,

We address this in our AUP.

Harassing or Threatening a Member of the MICDS Community – Using
technology to harass, threaten or intimidate members of the MICDS
community has the potential to adversely affect the safety and well-being
of students, faculty and staff. Such behavior may also harm the learning
atmosphere of the School. As a result, any harassing, threatening and/or
intimidating use of School technology resources of any member of the MICDS
Community, including students, faculty, and staff, will result in
disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion. Furthermore, the
School reserves the right, in circumstances it deems appropriately
serious, to investigate claims of harassing, threatening and/or
intimidating uses of technology, even though they may take place
off-campus, after School hours, using non-School equipment. Where the
School determines that such conduct has harmed the learning environment
and/or adversely affected a member of the MICDS community, the offending
student will be subject to discipline, up to and including expulsion;
