Dignity for All Students Act (DASA)

Harassment and Discrimination Is Prohibited At School

You should never feel that it is not safe for you to come to school and participate in all school activities. You should never be prevented from concentrating on your schoolwork because another student or a school staff member is teasing you, making fun of you, pushing you around, or threatening you in some way, because of your actual or perceived race, color, weight, national origin (where your family comes from), ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender (including gender identity or expression), or sex, or for any other reason.

You may not act toward another student in a way that might reasonably make them feel threatened or unsafe, or that might reasonably make them unable to concentrate on their schoolwork because of what you might think about their race, color, weight, national origin (where their family comes from), ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender (including gender identity or expression), or sex, or for any other reason.

It is against school rules for any student or staff member to do this by physical actions or by verbal statements, including electronic messages. This kind of conduct is prohibited on school property, on school buses, and at all school-sponsored events.

You should report acts of bullying, discrimination, harassment, and other inappropriate actions that harm others to your Dignity Act Coordinator.

Water Safety Information

As families enjoy the summer months, time spent at pools, lakes, rivers, and beaches can create lasting memories. It is also an important time to focus on water safety. Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental injury-related death among children, but many tragedies can be prevented through education, preparation, and active supervision.

Hoosic Valley Central School District is committed to promoting the health and safety of our students and families. We encourage everyone to take a few moments to review the water safety and drowning prevention resources below.

These trusted organizations offer valuable information on swim safety, life jacket use, emergency preparedness, and tips to help keep children safe in and around the water.
