Dear Parents and Guardians,
At Classical Academy Middle School, the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our highest priority. To maintain a safe and supportive environment, our school is partnering with the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System (SS-ARS), a nationally recognized violence prevention program provided by Sandy Hook Promise.
What is "Say Something"?
The "Say Something" program teaches students, teachers, and administrators how to recognize warning signs, signals, and threats—especially within social media—from individuals who may want to hurt themselves or others, and how to act immediately to get help.
How the Reporting System Works
The program educates participants to see something, say something. If a student notices a threatening behavior, bullying, mental health crisis, or warning sign, they can submit a secure and completely anonymous tip 24/7/365 using the information on the back of your student ID card.
All reports are monitored around the clock by a crisis center and are routed to local school administrators and law enforcement (when necessary) to take immediate, appropriate action. Crucially, the identity of the person reporting is kept strictly confidential.
Partnering with Families
We encourage you to talk with your child about the importance of speaking up when they see concerning behaviors or threats online or at school. Working together, we can ensure that our students know who their trusted adults are and feel empowered to keep our school community safe.
For more information regarding the program, or resources, please visit the Sandy Hook Promise website or reach out to the CAMS main office at (760) 520-6800.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in keeping our schools safe.
