[BHS Etree] ADMIN: Bullying - Intervention Coordinator/OCI

[BHS etree]

PLEASE do not reply to this email, contact Jasdeep Malhi at 644-8984 or
jasdeepmalhi at berkeley.net 

 

Though we aim for Berkeley High to be a safe and welcoming community for all
its students, it is not immune to the bullying behaviors observed and
discussed nationally.  Some Berkeley High students are subjected to repeated
harassment and threats.  Bullying occurs online through hurtful messages on
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and texting.

 

The BHS Safety Committee's Anti-bullying Subcommittee and the On Campus
Intervention office encourage students to step up and speak up when they see
bullying.  Students hesitate to keep bullying when their peers tell them
it's not cool.   You can help by talking with your student about becoming an
ally, not just a bystander.   Sticking up for a student in need is
empowering. 

 

Sometimes, though, students want confidential adult help.  The On Campus
Intervention (OCI) office in H104 is where our students can find that help.
Bullied themselves or witnesses to bullying, they can confide in Ms. Malhi.

 

If your child is being harassed or if you have questions about bullying,
please contact the Intervention Coordinator, Jasdeep Malhi at 644-8984 or
jasdeepmalhi at berkeley.net so she can follow up and connect you with the
right resources.
