STOP!T App

STOPiT- Anti-Bullying App

 

Dear Parent/Guardian,

 

Did you know that our School District has a wonderful tool to help students anonymously report incidents?   

STOPit is an online reporting tool designed to deter and mitigate bullying and cyber abuse, consisting of an app and a back-end incident management system for school administrators. 

Our students will have access to the STOPit mobile app, which has two simple but powerful features.

Report can be used by students to report incidents to school contacts anonymously. 

Get Help can be used to engage in anonymous two-way communication with school contacts.

 

Both Report and Get Help empower students to stand up for themselves and for one another. Students have the power to help put an end to harmful and inappropriate behavior they see online through social media and other means. They can use STOPit to reach out for help if they or a peer are facing a personal crisis or experiencing bullying and/or abuse. Our goal with STOPit is to create a safer, kinder school community, both online and off.

 

No student information is needed to use STOPit. The only way personally identifiable information will be accessible through STOPit is if a student voluntarily includes it within the content of a report or message.

Both our school and STOPit are committed to protecting the privacy of student data. STOPit is a signatory to the Student Privacy Pledge, spearheaded by the Future of Privacy Forum and the Software & Information Industry Association, and endorsed by President Obama. You may review STOPit’s Privacy Policy for details, including more information on how anonymous reporting works.

 

Please note that we will be re-launching STOPit on August 2021. At that time, you and your child will be invited to download the STOPit app from the app store on your personal smartphone or tablet at no charge. ALL YOU WILL NEED IS YOUR SCHOOL SITE'S ACCESS CODE, LISTED BELOW.

 

More information and resources can be found online at stopitsolutions.com. or you may review the Parent FAQs for answers to frequently asked questions.

You may also contact your student’s school office for further information
