Bullying is an unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated or has the potential to be repeated over time.  

To be considered bullying, the behavior must include: 

  • Deliberate: A bully’s intention to hurt someone. 

  • An Imbalance of Power: Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people. 

  • Repetition: Bullying behaviors happen more than once or have the potential to happen more than once.

BULLY FREE SCHOOL

Bullying is the repeated and intentional act of hurting someone else. It continues over time and involves an imbalance of power. Bullying may be physical, verbal, emotional or through the internet. Bullying of any kind will not be tolerated at Houghton Academy. If you or someone you know is being bullied, speak up and tell an adult you trust.

TECHNOLOGY

For the safety of students and to prevent school issues, we are encouraging parents to strictly supervise all computer/cell phone, social networking. (Examples include Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, texting). Cyber bullying can result in a suspension. All students are expected to follow the Buffalo Public School “Acceptable Use of Technology” policy while on school grounds.

We expect positive behavior from all of our students at Houghton Academy. Below is the matrix of behaviors expected of all students within each area of the building.
