TO PREVENT INCIDENTS OF BULLYING:
STUDENTS
To prevent bullying, students need to:
· Work to create a happy, safe school environment for all
· Respect themselves and others
· Learn to tolerate and accept individual differences
· Stand up against bullying behavior by reporting the incident immediately
· Support the school policy on bullying
PARENTS
To prevent bullying, parents need to:
· Work with the school to support your child
· Call the school not the other child’s parents
· Report the incidents even if your child does not want this
· Talk to your child about bullying by explaining:
° that bullying is wrong
° all students have the right to attend and be involved in school without fear
° the problem is unlikely to stop without adult intervention
· Use the internet, books and ask the School’s Counselor for resources
· Support the School policy on anti‐bullying
AAM PROCEDURES FOR INCIDENTS OF BULLYING
All AAM students, parents and staff members must be aware of the AAM Anti‐Bullying Policy and the following
procedures must be taken when handling any bullying incidents at school:
●
In ALL cases of bullying, the incidents will be reported to the appropriate Heads of Schools, and the
School Counselor, recorded by staff on iSams and documented in student/staff member files (in
case of incidents involving an adult).
●
Students involved will participate in discussions to gain a clear understanding of the issues and the
bullying behavior or threats of bullying will be investigated.
●
In serious cases parents will be informed and will be asked to come for a meeting to discuss the
issue. The School Principal will be informed of the incident.

●
Support will be provided to the victim.
●
Support will be provided to the bully.
●
The bully will receive consequences and guided to proper interactions with the victim.
●
If possible, the involved parties will be reconciled.
●
After the incident/s have been investigated and dealt with, each case will be monitored by staff to
ensure repeated bullying does not take place.
In serious cases, exclusion from school activities and even suspension, will be implemented.
Alcohol, Tobacco, Inhalants, and Drug Policy Statement
The use of alcohol, tobacco, inhalants, or any drug by any student while on school property, or at events sanctioned
by the school, is prohibited. This includes all times spent on field trips, sports and social events and school-supported
extracurricular activities. Furthermore, should the school discover that a student engages in the consumption of
alcohol, tobacco or any drug outside school property, the school reserves the right to take appropriate action
including counseling, suspension or, in severe cases, expulsion.
Consequences of Major Incidents of Misbehavior
Where a student has failed, after sustained intervention by teachers, to modify unacceptable behavior, a conference
will be held, involving parents, teachers, the head of secondary and the principal, as well as the student herself. The
principal may then resort to one or more of the following actions:
1. Suspension of Student (In compliance with Ministry Policy)
Consistently unacceptable behavior or serious infringements of the rights, safety or welfare of others may result in an
in-school or out-of-school suspension. Students assigned an in-school suspension will attend school and be assigned
to a supervised study. Work will be provided by classroom teachers. A student with an out-of-school suspension may
not return to school until a conference is held between the principal or head of secondary and the student, parent(s)
or guardian. A student will normally be referred to the student counselor on returning to school. Work missed during
suspensions must be made up.
2. Probationary
Enrollment
A student shall be placed on probationary enrollment as a consequence of behavior that is judged to be so serious
that repeated similar behavior will result in automatic expulsion. An exceptional, formal written contract between the
school, parents and student may be required in these situations.
3. Counseling
The school may require a student to undergo professional counseling and/or diagnostic evaluation as a requirement
for continued enrolment.
2. Financial
Reimbursement

A student and parents may be required to reimburse individuals or AAM for damage to or destruction of property.
3. Expulsion (In Compliance with Ministry Policy)
Very serious and/or chronic offenses may lead to expulsion, resulting in a student being removed from the school roll.
A student can expect to be expelled in the following cases, if during school, while attending school-sponsored events,
or on the school premises:
● A student commits a serious offense in relation to theft or property damage
● A student’s actions and attitude demonstrate that his or her presence in the school has been or may be
detrimental to the safety and well-being of others
● A student repeatedly engages in serious breaches of discipline
Use of Internet and School Server
Email, Chatting & Network Websites
All internet email and networking/chatting websites are blocked. These include (but are not limited to):
● Yahoo
● Hotmail
● Facebook
● Youtube
● MSN & Yahoo messenger
Students using any of the websites not allowed by the school will face disciplinary action. Some sites may be enabled
by the IT supervisor upon special request by a teacher for instructional purposes.
Students will be requested to set up their own email address for school work and will be advised by their teacher.
Personal Files
Students are not allowed to have personal files in their Home Drive, or anywhere else on the network. This includes
(but is not limited to):
● Music files, e.g. mp3
● Video
files
● Personal pictures of self, family, friends etc. If such pictures are required by a project, they must be removed
after use. The student must also have permission from her parents to bring these pictures to school and
copy them on the network.
● Any personal files found on the Home Drive will automatically be deleted and the student will face
disciplinary action.
● Students will be advised by their teachers when to bring laptops or devices to use in class.
Bus Safety Rules and Behavior
Transportation of students to and from school is the responsibility of parents. However, bus services are available
from a private bus company who has a representative at school. Arrangements can be made for this service.
Students may not be late for the bus. Any student who is late more than three times per semester may have their
bus privileges revoked. Please check the website for more details.

The Path of Roses
A school song for the Al Mizhar American Academy for
Girls
Music and Lyrics by Lynda Chmarny-Intaj
Scoring by Tatjana Sremac
We walk the halls of learning
Our minds are full of yearning
We’ll always have teachers and friends
To guide us through until the end
And as we take our steps into the world beyond
We are given opportunities to grow and become strong.
Our strengths are challenged day by day by those we admire
And we’ll face the bright tomorrow
Knowing our dreams will transpire
Our journey starts as rose buds do
We’re nurtured here to leave in bloom
We will have flowered and will have grown
We’ll be prepared to stand on our own
We believe in excellence, peace, love and harmony
We will clarify our vision through strength of unity.
And as our lives move on when we must leave this place behind
We’ll strive only to be the best leaders of humankind.
