Bullying

We want our students to feel safe, and we do not condone any kind of bullying. A student can report bullying to any adult at any school site, but the most appropriate individuals are most likely a teacher, social worker, dean, assistant principal, or principal. Anyone can also report a bullying incident via the online U-46 Reporting Form. Complaints can be made anonymously, or they can share their name and contact information. The District Coordinator of Student Discipline receives reports via email or phone call: Email: reportbullying@u-46.org and Phone: 847-888-5000 ext. 5357
