Anonymous Alerts® is a free app that we have used at Sky View for 7 years and has now been adopted by Samoset Middle School as well. The app allows students and families to report School-level concerns…ones that don’t rise to the level of police involvement, but are concerning nonetheless. You may remember this information being sent back on September 10…this is a reminder for all families and students.
Anonymous Alerts® allows students or parents to quickly, easily, and anonymously report urgent information to school officials across all departments. The system encourages students, parents and staff to confidentially report bullying, cyber-bullying, and other sensitive topics through private messages to our administration and Student Support personnel. Sky View Middle School does not support, encourage or tolerate any behavior that prevents any student from reaching their full potential.

We believe that the best way to address problems that our students face in school is personal contact with a teacher, school administrator, psychologist or counselor, and we strongly encourage and fully support that continued practice. However, we do know that sometimes there is a concern that a student or parent may want to communicate anonymously, and we’d much rather get the information anonymously than not at all.

In the coming week, we will be discussing other safety topics with our students. Most notably, teachers will be talking about how we practice as a school to keep our students and staff safe during a situation involving an armed intruder. Please stay tuned for another email from me tomorrow with more details on this important topic.
