WE HAVE A ZERO-TOLERANCE BULLYING ZONE. Bullying or harassing behavior is any pattern of gestures or written, electronic or verbal communication, or any physical act or any threatening communication that takes place on school property, at any school-sponsored function, or on a school bus.
Bullying means a single significant act or a pattern of acts by one or more students directed at another student that exploits an imbalance of power and involves engaging in written or verbal expression, expression through electronic means, or physical conduct and that the behavior:
1)Has the effect or will have the effect of physically harming a student, damaging a student’s property, or placing a student in reasonable fear of harm to the student’s person or of damage to the student’s property; or
2) To be sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive enough that the action or threat creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive environment for a student.
3) Materially and substantially disrupts the educational process or the orderly operation of a classroom or school; or
4) Infringes on the rights of the victim at school and includes cyberbullying.
Students or parents in the school community can anonymously submit any suspicious activity, bullying or other student-related issues to directly to Academy of Visual and Performing Arts school administrator(s).

The Tarrant County Safe Schools program in schools pays cash rewards to students for tips of criminal activity leading to an arrest or disciplinary action. Crimes and potential dangers that can be reported include but are not limited to: threats against students, staff, or the safety of the campus, possession of weapons, vandalism, theft, possession of drugs, and self-harm, which has already occurred, is in the process of occurring, or may occur in the future on school campuses, school buses, and at school events. The Safe Schools program is closely integrated with local law enforcement to ensure a swift and appropriate response to crimes and potential dangers.
Tips may also be received on conduct or threatened conduct that constitutes a danger to public safety, an individual, or that would disrupt the efficient and effective operations of the school. We encourage students, families, and staff to continue sharing non-criminal-related concerns with campus or charter leadership.
There are several ways to make a tip:
Call.
Contact us locally at 817-469-TIPS (8477) or toll-free at 877-469-TIPS (8477). All calls are answered by the Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County Call Center, the anonymous hotline serving Tarrant County citizens. Please provide as much information as you can. Crime Stoppers only pays for tips leading to an arrest and/or clearing of a criminal case so the more information you provide, the greater likelihood that an arrest or case cleared will result. You will never be asked to provide your name or personal information.
