Reporting Information

We know that keeping students safe is a top priority for you. When you talk to your child, please remind them that their well-being is what matters most. Encourage them to report any potential safety concerns to you or the school, no matter how small or insignificant they might seem. Students can also report concerns anonymously through Safe2Tell at 877-542-7233 or report online at https://safe2tell.org/.
