Pike Road Schools has established a process for students, parents, guardians, and bystanders to report instances of bullying to the school administrator for further review and investigation in order to minimize antisocial behavior in the school environment. The school will be notified about bullying if this form is completed. Any reported bullying incident may be investigated, and disciplinary action will be taken if deemed necessary (Patriot Code of Conduct code 2.02).
