STOPit: The Game-Changer in Safeguarding Claremore Public Schools from Inappropriate Behavior
We are pleased to announce that our school continues our partnership with STOPit, by STOPit Solutions.
STOPit is an online reporting tool for school administrators that consists of an app and a back-end incident management system. It is designed to deter and mitigate bullying, cyber abuse, and other inappropriate behaviors.
Our students will have access to the STOPit mobile app with two simple but powerful features.
Specifically, the program educates students to:
Recognize the signs of at-risk behaviors
Take every sign and signal seriously
Report it anonymously through STOPit App/Web or the 24/7 Incident Response Center
Submit photo or video evidence (App/Web Only)
Alert designated administrators to issues and risks early before they escalate
No personal information is needed to use STOPit. The only way personally identifiable information will be accessible through STOPit is if a requester voluntarily includes it within the content of a request 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. You may review STOPit’s Privacy Policy for details, including more information on how anonymous reporting works.
Students have the power to help end 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, abuse, or otherwise needing assistance. Our goal with STOPit is to create safer, kinder school communities online and offline.
Please note that we will remind students about the STOPit app at each school site this week. At that time, your child will be invited to download the STOPit app from the app store on their smartphone or tablet at no charge.
We encourage you to download the STOPit app and search for your students' schools using the directory. You can privately ask for help for your student, family, others you care about, or even acquaintances who appear to need help. For a video on how to use STOPit, go to Student Training Video.
Together, we can ensure everyone in our community gets what they need to thrive.
