Culture of Kindness

Let’s Partner to Cultivate A Culture of Kindness at Stoddert!

Kindness Includes Saying  “No!” to Bullying!

VISION STATEMENT

Stoddert is an inclusive school community that cultivates a “Caring Culture” that is focused on fomenting a sense of belonging, mutual respect and mutual responsibility for ALL students and their families whether online or offline, both on and off the school campus.

MISSION STATEMENT

Stoddert dedicates human, digital and print resources aimed at eradicating bullying/cyber-bullying dilemmas. Members of the school community collaborate to help themselves, and advocate on behalf of victims of bullying behavior.

Definition of Bullying:

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. The behavior is repeated. Types of bullying: verbal, social or physical.

Cyber-bullying:

Cyber-bullying is bullying or harassment that happens online. It can happen in a text message, an online game or on a social networking site. It might involve rumors, comments or images posted online.
