Student Handbook

The Student Handbook is the official guide to life at BART. It contains all key policies, procedures, and expectations for students and families, covering everything from academic requirements and grading standards to attendance rules, the code of conduct, and dress code.1 Reading this document ensures that all members of the community understand their rights and responsibilities throughout the school year.

Title IX Policy

Title IX is a federal law that protects all individuals from discrimination based on sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity) in educational programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance.

At BART, we are fully committed to providing an environment free from all forms of sex-based misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, and dating violence. Our policy outlines the procedures for reporting, investigating, and resolving all Title IX complaints to ensure a safe, equitable, and respectful learning environment for everyone.

BART is committed to providing a safe, positive, and inclusive learning environment where all students feel respected.

Our Bullying Prevention and Intervention Plan is a comprehensive guide detailing our commitment to address bullying, cyberbullying, and retaliation. The plan outlines:

  • Our Definition: Clear definitions of bullying and cyberbullying behaviors.
  • Reporting: Simple procedures for students, staff, and families to report incidents safely and confidently.
  • Intervention: Our prompt, effective steps for investigating all reports.
  • Support: Strategies for providing support, counseling, and intervention for all students involved, whether they are targets, aggressors, or bystanders.

We believe that preventing bullying is a responsibility shared by the entire school community, and we encourage everyone to review this document to help us maintain a respectful and civil school climate.
