Prevent Bullying!  


It is the policy of Terrace Community Middle School and Hillsborough County Public Schools
that all of its students and school employees have an educational setting that is
safe, secure, and free from harassment and bullying of any kind.
Our school and district will not tolerate bullying or harassment of any type.
 

In compliance with Florida Statute 1006.147 on bullying and harassment, TCMS has implemented a bullying and harassment plan.  Highlights of the plan are as follows:

  • Anonymous drop box message system, stationed outside the guidance office and in the nurse’s clinic
  • A bullying and harassment investigative team made up of guidance, health care, school climate and other administrative employees investigates each alleged incident within three days of notification of the alleged incident.  A record is kept of all investigations.
  • TCMS has an established character development program that encourages students to do the right thing and report any and all incidences of bullying and harassment.
  • TCMS addresses the student body at the beginning of the year and repeatedly throughout the year about bullying and harassment.
  • TCMS has a dedicated page on its website that provides parents and students alike with pertinent information about bullying and harassment.  It includes, among other things, a bullying hotline, the Florida Statute on Bullying and Harassment, the TCMS bullying and harassment reporting form, the TCMS Bullying and Harassment Plan. (UNDER CONSTRUCTION).
  • TCMS has a student-driven Justice for All Club that empowers students to monitor themselves and to educate their peers on the prevention of bullying and harassment.

At Terrace Community Middle School, we believe that the prevention of bullying and harassment can only be accomplished through a comprehensive plan that reaches out to all TCMS constituents.  The above plan represents our ongoing efforts.  We continue to reassess and improve this plan as opportunities to do so arise.
