NEWS FROM DR. CHAUSSEE
Safe2Help Hotline Update
This week we distributed stickers to all our students advertising the new Safe2Help hotline. Students are also receiving Safe2Help pencils throughout the year. The Douglas County Safe2Help hotline became active in January 2020, and now is expanding to the entire state. All calls will be logged and tracked within the hotline's software system. The hotline is a collaborative between Boys Town, Douglas County school districts and many other county wide police and social service agencies.
The service provides a way to seek help or anonymously report a situation involving another student. The app is on all students devices from grades 5-12. The phone number is (531) 299-SAFE or 7233. Students at school are learning about the hotline.
