Understanding the HIB Process

Harassment, intimidation, or bullying (HIB) means an intentional electronic, written, verbal or physical act that:

Physically harms a student or damages the student's property

Has the effect of substantially interfering with a student's education

Is so severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating or threatening educational environment

Has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.

If an incident of HIB is suspected:

  1. Report the Incident – Any student, parent, or staff member can report a suspected HIB incident. Reports can be made verbally or in writing.

  2. Investigation Process – Once a report is received, the school will conduct a thorough investigation within the mandated timeframe.

  3. Findings and Actions – Upon completion of the investigation, appropriate actions will be taken based on the findings, which may include interventions, discipline, and support services.

  4. Communication – Parents/guardians of all involved students will be notified of the investigation’s outcome while ensuring confidentiality.

How to Access the HIB Reporting Form

To make the reporting process as accessible as possible, the HIB Reporting Form is available on our district website. You can find the form here: https://www.steilacoom.k12.wa.us/who-we-are/departments/safety/bullying-prevention

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure a positive and respectful school environment for all students.

Sincerely,

This week we finished up our lessons related to technology and the need for balance. Moving forward, our 4th graders will be learning about their reticular activating system and how it acts as a filter on how we view the things that happen to us based on what we have already experienced. Our 5th graders will learn about the limits of roasting/teasing and how to manage their responses to it including what to do if it goes too far.

The PTA depends on parents and volunteers to make our events happen. While we would like to host two more family events this year, we can’t do that without additional help!

We are happy to work with your schedule and skills to find a way for you to contribute! Continue to check our website and facebook for the most up-to-date information.
