Fighting or acts of harassment reflect negatively on the school and its philosophy.  Since all students deserve to learn in an atmosphere free from bullying, cyber bullying and other forms of intimidation, Saint Anne’s School endorses the NY State Dignity For All Students Act which states that no student shall be subject to harassment or discrimination by employees or students on school property or at a school function based on their actual or perceived race, color, weight, national origin, ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender or sex.

Acts of harassment, verbal or otherwise, will result in progressive disciplinary action which may include suspension or dismissal. Acts of bullying and/or cyber bullying will result in disciplinary action which may include suspension or dismissal. Students who are aware of situations which might lead to fighting must seek the intervention of the Principal immediately. Similarly, students who are aware of any form of bullying should immediately notify the Principal. Glances, verbal comments, etc., (e.g., written comments, online postings, etc.) are not sufficient to warrant a physical response. Hazing in any form is prohibited. Any breach of this regulation will incur severe disciplinary action.
