Bullying & Safety Concern Center

The Bullying & Safety Concern Center is designed for individuals to report situations involving intimidation, harassment, threats, abuse, and other forms of bullying.  It is also to be used to report any other safety concerns.  It is usually best to talk directly with an administrator, counselor, psychologist, or social worker.  However, since students and parents are not always comfortable doing so, this is another tool that can be used to report bullying or other safety concerns.  To report a concern, click on the image below

About Palatine's Promise

Palatine’s PROMISE is a multi-faceted program that includes more than 120 students, one elected from every 2nd period class in our school.  That diverse group, the Student Summit, now works with the faculty and staff members who have volunteered their time to be apart of Palatine's Promise.  Each Summit class (i.e., freshman, sophomore, etc.) chose five members from their group to attend weekly meetings with the faculty/staff members before school to develop and coordinate the initiatives of the larger group.  The initiatives include monthly in-class presentations, discussions, instruction, extracurricular activities, forums in the auditorium, and all-school assemblies---all designed to promote positive leadership and help make PHS an even better place.

This is the second year for Palatine's Promise.  Several faculty members worked diligently this summer to review feedback from faculty and feedback from the results of the bullying survey administered to all students last school year.  Based upon that feedback, many of the faculty members met this summer to help outline/plan activities and revise the structure for the upcoming school year. 

In-class activities this year will include “Special Needs Awareness, Cyber bullying, Race and Culture, Dating and Relationships, and Reviewing Values/Goals."  The Student Summit members will help develop the materials, instruction, and activities.  Every classroom teacher is provided with in-service training and/or instruction and materials to facilitate the monthly activities, which the students will help them conduct.  Additional Forums in the Auditorium will be used to further address some of the topics.

Extracurricular activities this year will include a Health Fair and Lunchapalooza, Palatine’s PROMISE's three-day version of the national Mix It Up At Lunch Day.  All lunch periods on November 18-20 will include activities, skits, and entertainment designed to encourage students to sit with, eat with, and interact with students unfamiliar to them. 

The faculty of Palatine's Promise are very proud of our students and what we have accomplished together.  We are very excited about what our students will achieve this school year.
