Dear Atlantic
Middle School Community,
Earlier
today, it was reported to me that two Grade 7 students created an Instagram
account that targeted other students at Atlantic Middle School with homophobic
language and included student photographs without their knowledge and/or
permission. Please know that the students
responsible will be held accountable and appropriately disciplined for this
serious incident which is completely unacceptable and hurtful to the targeted
students and the entire Atlantic community.
Our administration, classroom teachers, and guidance counselors will be
meeting with students tomorrow to continue to reinforce respecting one another
in person and online as well as the power of words.
Quincy
Public Schools takes all reports of this nature seriously and as always, our
focus is on providing a safe and inclusive school community for students and
staff. If you or your student have concerns
about this incident, please feel free to reach out to me at 617-984-8727 or via
email at alizaschneller@quincypublicschools.com.
Sincerely,
Aliza A. Schneller
Principal, Atlantic Middle School
