Bullying Hotline

Roanoke City Public Schools takes bullying seriously and we want to make sure every child feels safe at school. For that reason, we have launched a Bullying Hotline. The Hotline is open to anyone who experiences or observes bullying that is school related. Bullying is defined as any aggressive and unwanted behavior that is intended to harm, intimidate, or humiliate the victim; involves a real or perceived power imbalance between the aggressor or aggressors and victim; and is repeated over time or caused severe emotional trauma. Call (540) 853-1700 to report bullying. You can remain anonymous.
