• 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 who 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.
