2016 - 2017 School Calendar
Dear Parents,

Salutations and blessings to you and your children! Although we are quickly coming to the end of our school year, it is important to share important information that transcends the school year.  Specifically, cyberbullying.  On Saturday, May 21, 2016, you may have read an article in the Denver Post regarding student cyberbullying at Regis Jesuit High School.   The article discusses the deleterious information that students were sharing about other students on social media.  Many female students held a protest in solidarity against the social media posts. The opportunity of cyberbullying on social media is a problem everywhere.
  
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
 
"Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology.  Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets, as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites.  Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles."
 
Why Cyberbullying is Different:
  • Kids who are being cyberbullied are often bullied in person as well.  Additionally, kids who are cyberbullied have a harder time getting away from the behavior.
  • Cyberbullying can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reach a kid even when he or she is alone.  It can happen any time of the day or night.
  • Cyberbullying messages and images can be posted anonymously and distributed quickly to a very wide audience.  It can be difficult and sometimes impossible to trace the source.
  • Deleting inappropriate or harassing messages, texts, and pictures is extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent.
 
Effects of Cyberbullying:
Cell phones and computers themselves are not to blame for cyberbullying.  Social media sites can be used for positive activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for entertainment.  But these tools can also be used to hurt other people.  Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar.

Kids who are cyberbullied are more likely to:
  • Use alcohol and drugs
  • Skip school
  • Experience in-person bullying
  • Be unwilling to attend school
  • Receive poor grades
  • Have lower self-esteem"
This year, BSCS administration has addressed cyberbullying with students as young as 10 years old.  The investigation from the instances we've addressed mirror what the US government states as the origins; happened at home using social media inappropriately. Cyberbullying policy is defined in the BSCS Parent - Student Handbook and school administration takes it very seriously as the ripple effect impacts the school environment.
  
We all agree that we want what is best and healthy for our students.  I encourage you to monitor your child's devices and their engagement in social media as well as utilizing control apps to monitor them.
  
God bless you and yours,
Carla
The Father is my hope.  The Son is my refuge.  The Holy Spirit is my protector.  Glory to the Holy and undivided Trinity, now and forever.  Let us praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; let us bless and exalt God above all forever!  Almighty and everlasting God, to whom we owe the grace of professing the true faith, grant that while acknowledging the glory of the eternal Trinity and adoring its unity, we may through your majestic power be confirmed in this faith and defended against all adversities; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.
