Bullying

Middle school can be a rough time emotionally for students and during these grade levels comes a lot of bullying. Here at Holton Middle School, we try to take the time to support positive behaviors in and out of the classroom and it is very important to all of the staff to report bullying. Students need to feel comfortable reporting that they are victims of bullying at school. Everything from verbal to physical to sexual harrasment is viewed as bullying and is not tolerated and those committing the offense will be dealt with. We strongly believe that our parents will take the appropriate steps to teach their children exceptable behaviors that follow their child into our school. Please visit our Handbook for further discipline information on bullying:
