A conversation with the classroom teacher could be a good place to start to address a bullying issue. While talking with the school regarding the bullying incident can be effective, consider putting it in writing. Written communication is important for creating a record.\u003Cbr>There are two options for reporting a bullying incident to school officials:\u003Cbr>1. Request a bullying complaint form from the school. Each school must have a process for reporting an act of bullying or harassment. A bullying complaint form can be used as a way for the child and/or parent to report bullying to the school. This form is typically available at the school and on the school’s website. Fill out the form, make a copy for yourself, and submit the original to school officials.\u003Cbr>2. Put your concerns in writing to the school detailing the incident. Consider using the sample letter within this document to provide important details to the school.\u003Cbr>Your communication should include:\u003Cbr>• your child’s name;\u003Cbr>• the date and location of incident;\u003Cbr>• details including: who was involved, what happened, how often;\u003Cbr>• witnesses to the incident;\u003Cbr>• the impact of the incident on your childphysically, emotionally and academically; and\u003Cbr>• what has already been tried to stop the problem. The communication should remain factual and absent of opinions or emotional statements and should be sent to the Principal or school administrators. Request that the school send you a copy of their bullying policy and request that they follow-up with you about the bullying incident. | These options for reporting and documenting a bullying incident serve two important purposes:\u003Cbr>• Notifies school officials of the incident and your desire for intervention; and\u003Cbr>• Serves as your written record when referring to the incident.\u003Cbr>Keep a copy of any written communication you send to the school regarding the incident. Doing so will help to keep a timeline of events. If your original reporting was sent electronically (email or text), consider sending a hard copy to create a written record.\u003Cbr>How can I empower my child?\u003Cbr>It is important for junior high and high school students to understand the most effective way to report a bullying incident to school officials. Students may not always tell adults if they are being bullied therefore it is important to empower the child with information on how to report the bullying incident themselves.\u003Cbr>Help your child to understand that while telling school officials is important, documenting the incident on an official complaint form is the most effective way to report a bullying incident.\u003Cbr>Related Resources\u003Cbr>Look for the following related resources on the ASK website:\u003Cbr>• Iowa’s Anti-Bullying Law\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>ASK Essential Questions\u003Cbr>• Have I gathered the information I need to report the bullying incident to the school?\u003Cbr>• Have I put my concerns in writing? |\n| --- | --- |\n\nThis publication was developed with funds under grants from the U.S. Dept. of Education and the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services.
