Athletes and Coaches Against Bullying

Anti-Bullying Pledge

We the Coaches and Athletes agree to join together to stamp out bullying on our campus.

"We believe that everybody should enjoy our school equally, and feel safe, secure andaccepted regardless of color, race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, popularity, athletic ability, intelligence, religion or nationality."

By signing this pledge, we the Coaches and Athletes agree to:

1. Value student differences and treat others with respect.

2. Not become involved in bullying incidents or be a bully.

3. Be aware of the school's policies and support system with regard to bullying.

4. Report honestly and immediately all incidents of bullying to a faculty member.

5. Be alert in places around the school where there is less adult supervision such as     bathrooms, corridors, and stairwells.

6. Support students who have been or are subjected to bullying.

7. Talk to teachers and parents about concerns and issues regarding bullying.

8. Work with other students and faculty to help the school deal with bullying effectively.

9. Encourage teachers and coaches to discuss bullying issues in the classroom, court, field   and locker room.

10. Provide a good role model for younger students and support them if bullying occurs.

11. Participate fully and contribute to assemblies dealing with bullying.

12. Respect my teammates on the court, field and locker room.

I acknowledge that whether I am being a bully or see someone being bullied, if I don't report or stop the bullying, I am just as guilty.
