BCA’s Bullying Prevention Policy & Information

“Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always be kind to each other and to everyone else.” ~ Thessalonians 5:15

 OUR MISSION regarding bullying prevention

At Baytown Christian Academy, we strive to instill in our students a respect for one other that is based on the infinite value that each individual person has by being made in the image and likeness of God.

OUR PURPOSE

Purpose of our bullying prevention program Baytown Christian Academy believes every student has the privilege to learn in an environment that is free from hurt caused by bullying, intimidation, or harassment. We aim to create a school culture and environment where bullying will not be tolerated. Our policy not only meets state law, but most importantly, aligns with Biblical principles.

Our framework for this policy is to establish relationships which are grounded in God’s love, compassion, reconciliation and restitution. We are called by Jesus Christ to provide our students with a wholesome academic environment. Therefore, we do not allow behaviors which harm other students, whether physically or emotionally.

Our bullying prevention policy lays out our program for building such an environment and equipping our students with tools to avoid and respond to bullying behavior. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at BCA. If bullying does occur, all students should be able to report and know that the incident will be dealt with promptly and effectively.

Any student who believes he or she has been the subject of bullying, or anyone (student or parent) who has knowledge of bullying is to report the incident immediately to a teacher, staff member, school administrator or by using the Report a case of Bullying tab.

BCA will investigate the incident promptly to determine the appropriate actions that need to be taken. As a result, education, counseling, and disciplinary actions may be prescribed as determined solely by BCA
