A Parent's Guide to School Safety Toolkit

Welcome to Vanguard Academy's A Parent's Guide To School Safety Toolkit. Vanguard Academy understands that school safety is a primary concern for parents and guardians. A Parent's Guide To School Safety Toolkit introduces key school safety topics, highlights relevant Texas laws, and provides specific information that you or your child need to know. These resources will equip you with how to best support your child and Vanguard Academy. Utilizing our resources, including but not limited to School Climate Transformation, we take a pro-active approach through Peer Leadership programs and other initiatives to create a culture that respects and values all.

1.1 Bullying and Cyberbullying

Vanguard Academy desires to prevent bullying by establishing a positive, collaborative school climate and clear rules for student conduct. Our schools provide resources to educate and engage every student, at every grade level on bullying. These resources promote communication and social skills to educate students about appropriate online behavior and strategies to prevent and respond to bullying and cyberbullying.

A safe and civil environment is needed for students to learn and attain high academic standards and to promote healthy relationships. The purpose of the Vanguard Academy bullying policy is to assist the district in its goals of preventing and responding to acts of bullying, intimidation, violence, and other similar disruptive behavior. An act of bullying, by either an individual student or a group of students, is expressly prohibited on district property or at school-related functions. This policy applies not only to students who directly engage in an act of bullying but also to students who, by their indirect behavior, condone or support student's act of bullying.
