SAFE2TELL

Safe2Tell

This week students in k-6 will be learning about Safe2Tell as a resource. Safe2Tell is an anonymous reporting system designed to make schools and communities safer. The focus is on how to be an upstander and what to do if a situation feels unsafe to yourself or others. Age appropriate language and situations are used for elementary and middle school. All Eagle County district schools are presenting this resource to their students and student IDs will include the Safe2Tell contact information this year.

Key Benefits for Schools Using the Safe2Tell Model:

Proactive intervention prevents incidents before they happen.
Anonymous tipline saves time investigating incidents.
Tipline's existence inhibits & deters troublesome behavior.
24/7 forwarding of tips enables prompt action & reduces liability.
Safe2Tell Colorado materials support quick & easy implementation

Please read the Safe2Tell Helpful Information for Parents and visit the Safe2Tell website for additional information. You may also contact Mrs. Pribramsky with additional questions.
