Bullying, harassment, and intimidation (BHI) have no place at Ernest Everett Just Middle School. Whether it happens in the hallways or online, such behavior can create hostile learning environments that interfere with students’ academic performance, and emotional and physical well-being. Harassment is motivated by real or perceived characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, or socioeconomic status.
Bullying behavior is threatening, intimidating, and occurs repeatedly over time with the intent to cause harm. Bullying is unwanted behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated over time with the intent to cause harm. Bullying behavior may include: making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and deliberately excluding someone from a group.
Attached is a family guide for BHI, a PGCPS resource website, and what the reporting form consists of.

What is Self-Esteem?
Middle school is an exciting, yet challenging time for students, parents, and teachers! Most students that school counselors see for a variety of different reasons all seem to have one thing in common. Their self-confidence has taken a hit somewhere along the line. If we can help them to feel better about themselves, then we can help them to improve their grades, relationships, communication, and to reach goals.
