A safe and secure school is one of our primary goals at Seymour I.S.D., so effective October 13, 2011, our parents and students are now able to use the free web site, Report a Bully (http://www.reportabully.com) to report bullying. If you make a report, be sure to fill out all required fields on the report. We must have complete information to do a proper investigation. After submission of the report, the information will be received by the principal and counselor. The information will be addressed accordingly.
*Please note there is a Report a Bully button on the main page of our school web site, also.
