New & Improved Bullying Reporting Form Now Available
At Rivercrest School District, we are committed to ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all students. To help with this, we have updated our Bullying Reporting Form to make it easier for students to report concerns.
Where to find it:
Available in Students’ Clever accounts
Accessible on our district website under the “Students and Parents” tab
How it works:
Students use their Rivercrest Gmail account to submit a report.
The Dean of Students will receive and review each submission in accordance with School Handbook Policy.
Basic details are required to initiate a follow-up.
Encourage your student to report any bullying concerns. They can also talk directly to a teacher, counselor, dean of students, or principal for support.
Together, we can continue to foster a culture of kindness and respect at Rivercrest!
