Not New but a Reminder...
Students are the eyes and ears of our school and community. Is your child seeing things happen in school that shouldn't be happening? Is your child being bullied? Is your child concerned about the welfare of another student?
Students and families can use STOPit to:
- make anonymous reports through the STOPit mobile app, website or via phone with the 24/7 Incident Response Center
- submit photo or video evidence (App/Web Only)
- alert school administrators to issues early, before they escalate
- connect immediately via text with certified mental health counselors through the Crisis Text Line located in the app
By having so many people recognizing and reporting concerns, we create an upstander culture that looks out for one another.
How student or family members can report:
1. Students or family members make a tip via mobile app (see Apple App Store or Google App Store) or website. Access Code to Activate: LEOPARDS
2. Incident Response Center monitors and reviews the submission.
3. School administrators receive and act on tip submission.
