Hello LVES Families! As we approach National Bullying Prevention Month in October, I would like to make sure you are all aware of Lago Vista ISD’s StayAlert system. Lago Vista ISD uses StayALERT to help keep our schools safe. StayALERT is a bilingual, confidential website, e-mail, phone and texting avenue for students, teachers, staff, parents and community members to be able to confidentially report unsafe behaviors, suspicious activities, bullying, acts of violence, harassment, and a host of other potential disruptors to school safety.
Users may anonymously report concerns 24-7-365 via the StayALERT website, an e-mail, a phone call to a recorded and monitored line, or via a text message from a cell phone. Photos and video clips pertaining to the StayALERT report may be included. No special app required! Reportable information will be forwarded in a timely manner to a pre-designated school official for review.
To make a report, use one of the methods below:
Website: stayalert.info

Email: report@stayalert.info
Naturally, we also encourage you to report your concerns to your child’s teacher, school counselor, or administrators. It is important to utilize whichever method you or your child are most comfortable with.
Thank you!
