Respect for All and Sexual Harassment

Here at Aviation, we pride ourselves on maintaining a safe and secure learning environment free from harrassment, intimidation or bullying for everyone!  We have a team of trained counselors, deans and school safety agents who support all of our teachers in making sure that every student feels safe.  If you do not feel safe, please talk to any staff member your trust or come down to room 135 to speak with a counselor. 

Respect For All

  

The New York Public Schools Anti-Bullying campaign, Kindness over Bullies, is dedicated to building a school culture where respect, inclusion and safety are non-negotiable. ​By empowering students as upstanders, we inspire them to take an active role in promoting respect for differences, confronting bullying head-on, and fostering a truly supportive, bully-free environment. ​

Respect for All Presentations for Parents

All reports of bullying, harassment, discrimination or intimidating behavior will be investigated. Support is available to students and families before, during, and after an investigation.

Student to Student Sexual Harassment

Student-to-student sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct and/or communication of a sexual nature by a student directed against another student. Such behavior can constitute sexual harassment regardless of the gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression of any of the students involved. Sexual harassment may be a single incident or a series of related incidents.

Why Don’t Students Ask for Help?

  • Bullying can make a child feel helpless. 
  • May fear being seen as weak. 
  • Fear backlash from the student who has bullied them.
  • Can be humiliating 
  • They may also fear adults will be judgmental or punitive toward them for being weak.
  • Students who are bullied may feel like no one cares or could understand.
  • Students may fear being rejected by their peers, for being a tattletale.
