Say Something Anonymous Reporting System
While the District takes every warning sign and threat seriously, the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System trains and educates students, faculty, and staff how to:
- Recognize warning signs and threats (verbal, non-verbal, or on social media) of individuals who may be at-risk
- Act immediately to get help by talking to a trusted adult OR
- Report through the SS-ARS 24/7/365 telephone hotline, mobile app, or website
The Say Something Anonymous Reporting System program is provided at no cost by Sandy Hook Promise (SHP), a national nonprofit organization. More than 31 million people have participated in their research-based “Know the Signs” programs that includes Say Something.
This program is age-appropriate and evidence-informed. To date, the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System and other SHP prevention programs have stopped multiple school incidents (i.e. shootings), suicides, and gun threats. SS-ARS and SHP have also helped reduced bullying and cyberbullying, and provided intervention for self-harm, drug use, and more.
You can help save lives by reporting observed threats, behaviors, actions, and harassment. Here are examples of some of the most common behaviors and incidents to report:
- Acts of violence, with or without weapons
- Verbal or physical abuse, assault or harassment
