Creating Safe, Supportive Spaces for Every Student

At Huron City Schools, the safety and well-being of every student is our top priority. We are committed to providing a positive, inclusive environment where students feel seen, heard, and supported.

Whether you're a student experiencing bullying, a parent with concerns, or a staff member needing resources, this page is here to help. We’ve gathered information and tools so you can take action, find support, and help make our schools a safe space for everyone. We encourage you to make time to review the Bullying Prevention document with your student.

  • Recognizing Bullying Behavior

    Bullying is:

    • Intentional, repeated aggressive behavior

    • An imbalance of power (physical strength, access to embarrassing information, popularity, etc.)

    • Verbal, social, physical, or digital in nature

    Examples include:

    • Name-calling, threats, and spreading rumors

    • Exclusion, intimidation, hitting, or pushing

    • Cyberbullying through social media or messaging apps

    What isn’t bullying?

    • One-time conflicts or disagreements

    • Accidental hurtful behavior

    • Mutual arguments between students

  • See Something? Say Something.

    Your voice matters. If you see something suspicious or feel unsafe report it. Students and families need to speak up. You are encouraged to reach out to your child’s teacher, building principal or central office administration with concerns. If you prefer to remain anonymous, Parents/Guardians and students can report any safety concerns, bullying incidents, threats, or suspicious behavior using the following tools:
