Dealing with cyber-bullying:

• Sadly, cyber-bullying is a reality of the age in which we live. While this is a difficult problem to solve, there are things we can do. In our District’s Responsible Use Policy, we inform students that:

• There is NO distinction between online and offline activities regarding school behavior and the assignment of disciplinary consequences.

• Rules for behavior set by the district and school cover both physical and digital actions by students and interactions among students

• These rules apply to use of district and personal devices both ON and OFF campus.

Students or parents that see a post they believe to be bullying should report it to school administration for investigation and potential school disciplinary action. If students or parents see a post that makes any kind of threat, it should also be submitted to San Diego Crime Stoppers through P3 Tips. School administration will investigate the matter in partnership with law enforcement, and the poster could face both criminal charges and school disciplinary action.

A note about anonymous social media posts: It’s important to understand that when posts are made anonymously, our school does not have the tools to track the posts to their source (we also do not have the ability to take any social media posts down). In these situations, we encourage families to report the post to school administration for our awareness, share the post directly with the platform on which it was posted (Facebook, Instagram, etc.), and request that the platform have the post removed. Any information gathered about the source of the post from the platform during the process of reporting it could be shared with school administration as well for our investigative purposes. Again, if the post contains a threat of any kind, please submit a tip through P3 Tips.

The mission of West Hills High School is to graduate critical thinkers and problem-solvers who contribute positively to society as productive, responsible citizens.
