Bully-Free Schools

  • The purpose of the Christina School District (CSD) Bully-Free Schools Initiative is to heighten awareness around the issue of bullying and to promote a safe learning environment for all students. The initiative includes professional development, sharing of research-based information, recommendations and interventions, and activities for administrators, staff, students, and parents.

    • Bullying can be direct (i.e., taunting, hitting, or stealing); boys are most often overt bullies

  • Please note that assignments will be graded and recorded in a reasonable amount of time. Major projects and papers require a longer timeline for grading. Questions about your child's grades should be directed to the individual teacher, available through email links on the site.
     
    Final grades are determined by teachers using both objective and subjective criteria.  Grades shown in Home Access Center may not reflect your child's final grade until all scores are verified and posted by the school office.
     
    Progress Reports will be available online at the mid-point of the marking period. Report Cards will appear online approximately one week after the end of the marking period.
