Report a Concern
How to Address a Concern:
The Plymouth-Canton Board of Education and the Superintendent expect that all concerns be treated with respect. All persons will be assisted by the best person to help them with their concerns regarding their children and their schools. The How to Address a Concern flowchart below explains some general guidelines.
Not all concerns may be resolved exactly as all persons involved desire, but District staff will be open to considering all concerns and providing any assistance possible before the issue would need to be addressed by the Superintendent.

Cyber-Bullying
There is a new kind of humiliation in schools these days - bullying on the Internet. Children are using the anonymity of the Internet to harass other children, spread cruel rumors, and sometimes even threaten physical harm. The worst thing is that it can happen anywhere and at any time. The same technology that has brought so many benefits is also bringing pain to far too many children, while allowing others to brutalize their peers without the chance of getting caught.
- New Pain, Old Problem: There's nothing new about bullying, but the Internet has made it a far easier thing to accomplish. By simply creating a separate screen name of instant message (IM) identity, kids can use the Internet to send hate mail that in most cases, can't be traced.
- Not an Isolated Incident: Studies have found that as many as one in four children have been harassed online.
- IMs are the Biggest Problem: Instant messaging (IM) has replaced the pre-teen and teen rituals of the past - passing notes and talking on the phone. IMs are where the vast majority of bullying takes place online. Unlike computer screen names, people can create an unlimited number of IM names for themselves. Kids use this as an opportunity to create untraceable identities that they use to bully others online.
- Bad Judgments Can Cause a Lifetime of Hurt: Children sometimes, without thinking of the consequences, send very personal information to others over the Internet. Love-sick girls have sent obscene photos or videos of themselves to the boys they like and vice versa. Once they're sent, they're "out there." The person who receives the images can send them to others, and on and on. Some parents have been shocked to find that there are pornographic images of their own children available to anyone on the Web.
- Discuss the Topic with Your Child: You may be surprised to learn that your child has already been a target of cyber-bullying. If so, the most important thing is to find out what kind of bullying is taking place. Are the words just cruel, or are threats involved as well? If your child is being victimized, make sure he or she lets you know when it's happening.
- Keep Records: Use your computer to copy and print all of the offending IMs or e-mails, including the "buddy name" of the perpetrator. Print them out and bring them to the school to discuss the problem with the Principal or Assistant Principal.
Monitor Your Children When they are on the Computer: Listen for signs that they are being unkind (cruel laughter as they send or read an IM or e-mail) as well as for indications that they are being bullied. Then take action. Your children need your help.
