• Cyber Bullying is defined as bullying, harassment and/or intimidation with information and communication technologies, including, but not limited to, email, social media networking and cell phones. If a student feels s/he is a victim of discrimination, harassment, bullying, cyber bullying, intimidation or menacing, s/he should talk immediately with a teacher, advisor, counselor, Principal or the Head of School. The student should speak with whomever s/he feels most comfortable. If the student does not feel comfortable talking with any of the above alone, s/he should bring a friend or write a note. Levine Academy encourages the student to talk with a parent or other adult whoms/he trusts so the parent or other adult can also provide assistance. Upon receipt of such complaint, the counselor, Principal or Head of School will investigate the complaint completely and, when appropriate, will take action based on the circumstances. Action may include education, counseling, suspension or dismissal. To the extent possible and allowed by law, Levine Academy will maintain confidentiality within the confines of the investigation of the alleged prohibited behavior. All parties are treated with dignity and Levine Academy will not retaliate against anyone for making a report or serving as a witness.
Addendum3 - Employee Handbook Technology and Communication
Any device or computer including, but not limited to, desk phones, cell phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and iPads that Levine Academy provides for your use, should only be used for school business and for students as a learning tool. These items are the property of Levine Academy. The setup and installation of all hardware, operating systems, and software is the sole responsibility of the school’s IT department. Cell phones are not to be used in the classroom during instruction or while supervising children; the only exception for cell phone use during the academic day would be for supervisor-approved school projects. Email and Voicemail At Levine Academy, electronic mail and telephone voicemail are efficient and valuable tools. They are also property of the school. In short, neither of these systems is considered to be confidential, nor should they be used to meet an employee’s own personal needs. The rule of thumb when it comes to email and voicemail is that employees should never say or write anything they would not want someone other than the intended receiver to hear or read. Remember that even when an email or voicemail message has been deleted from a location, it is still possible to retrieve and read that message. Levine Academy reserves the right to access and read any or all information contained in computers, computer files, email messages, or voicemail messages. Employees should have no expectation of privacy with regard to these communications. Employees
