The Kasson-Mantorville School District and the Kasson Police Department both take all reports of bullying, harassment, assaults, and/or threats seriously. Please make reports as soon as possible. If you are reporting as a victim, parent, or a witness (bystander), we are willing to keep who reported the event confidential from the person doing the harm.

What is Bullying?

Bullying is being mean to another person over and over again and may include:

  • Picking on or teasing someone

  • Talking about hurting someone

  • Spreading false and harmful rumors

  • Leaving someone out on purpose

  • Attacking someone by hitting them or yelling at them
     

Bullying is not always done in person. Another type bullying is cyber bullying. It happens online or through social media, emails, or text messages. It includes posting rumors, sharing embarrassing pictures or videos on social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat TIC-TOC etc.) and making fake profiles or websites.
