7. BULLYING<br />

Bullying is defined as “intentional, repeated, hurtful acts, words or other<br />

behavior, such as name-calling, threatening, shunning, or deliberate<br />

exclusion committed by one or more persons against others. Bullying may<br />

be physical, verbal or emotional, and may be described and understood<br />

differently in different cultures. "“Harassment”, “mobbing”, “hazing”, and<br />

even excessive teasing may be construed as bullying.<br />

Bullying is considered a major infraction and is totally unacceptable at<br />

ISD. In cases of witnessed or reported bullying, the “no blame approach”<br />

may be used. Details of this approach may be found with the principal<br />

and counselor.<br />

8. CAMPUS CLEANLINESS<br />

Cleanliness of the public areas both inside and outside the school building<br />

is the responsibility of all members of the school community. Everyone<br />

should clean up after themselves at all times.<br />

To help students feel ownership of the school and to encourage<br />

responsibility, all students serve a period of lunch duty during the school<br />

year. If everyone else plays their part, the lunch duty team should only<br />

have to do a minimal amount of cleaning and straightening at the end of<br />

the lunch period.<br />

Expectations:<br />

• Students must clean up after themselves, and leave nothing behind.<br />

- all trash must be placed in the proper bin.<br />

- all utensils and dishes must be put on the cart.<br />

• Students should return any chairs they have borrowed from other<br />

tables and push their chairs back under the table as they leave.<br />

• The last student to leave a table is responsible for any trash, utensils,<br />

dishes, or mess at that table, regardless if it is theirs or not.<br />

• If a student is asked to throw away a piece of trash, clear utensils or<br />

dishes or clean up a mess by the faculty member on duty, that student<br />

should do so immediately without complaint.<br />

• Students must always treat the cafeteria staff and students on duty<br />

with respect and courtesy and comply with any reasonable requests.<br />
