Safe School Helpline

We have contracted for this service through Security Voice, an independent company with no other ties to our school.

A toll-free number has been assigned for our school district. When you dial this number from a touch-tone phone, you will be advised how to leave your information.  You may exclude your name or other facts that could identify you.  Then, record your message.

Please report any facts, remarks, or actions that could jeopardize the safety of our children, staff, or school. Examples of harmful or threatening behavior might include:

• Bullying
• Violence
• Theft
• Drug or alcohol use and abuse
• Talk of suicide
• Sexual harassment
• Weapons

Security Voice will send a typed copy of your message to the school. The school will then investigate the report, and determine how best to act on it.

You may call toll-free anytime, day or night – from a home, mobile or pay phone. Take care that your call is not overheard.

Yes. If you see a student who is very troubled, or overhear remarks like "I can't go on," please report it. The call will be routed to a Community Counseling and Crisis Center that provides a 24-hour crisis intervention service. Trained counselors are available 365 days per year to talk with persons seeking assistance in coping with suicidal thoughts, depression, or feelings of loneliness and loss. Callers need only press "3" when prompted.

After three school days, call the toll-free number and enter your case number when prompted. A recording will let you know your message was heard and may ask for more information. Your answers will be transcribed and sent to the school administration for further investigation. Administrative actions may sometimes be confidential, but your call is always important.
