SaySomething App
We would like to remind our families about the Say Something reporting platform.
Say Something provides students and adults a secure, anonymous reporting platform for concerns related to violence, suicide, bullying, self-harm and other forms of threatening behavior. Tips are received by trained personnel, who will notify the proper authorities, whether they be school administrators or law enforcement.
The platform is easily accessible via the 1:1 tools on student devices. Tips can also be submitted via phone, on the Say Something website, or through the Say Something mobile app.
School safety is a community effort, and we thank our students, staff, and families for their support as we work together to keep one another safe. Remember, if you see something, please say something.
