Spotlight on Safety: Reporting Safety Concerns

Spotlight on Safety: Reporting Safety Concerns

The safety of our students and staff is always our first priority.

We want to emphasize that we take every safety concern seriously. Whether it's something a student sees in the hallway, hears from a classmate, or reads in a private post on social media, we encourage students to speak up if they see or hear something that might be concerning.

Every report receives our full attention. Upon investigation, it may turn out to be a false alarm or a misunderstanding, but it's better to be safe than sorry. We notify families when we investigate a safety concern so that you are aware and have the facts.

Safety isn't just about reacting to safety concerns—it's about creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to speak up if they feel unsafe or even if they feel something isn't quite right. 

If you have a concern, report it immediately to your school administrator, and encourage your student to share any concern they have with a trusted adult at school.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe.
