Digital Safety

The ability to manage risks online (e.g. cyberbullying, grooming, radicalization) as well as problematic content (e.g. violence and obscenity), and to avoid and limit these risks. 

• It's OK not to like someone. It's not OK to bully them.

• If you see something online that's meant to hurt someone, don't "like" or share it. Think about how you'd feel if someone did that to you. 

• If someone cyberbullies you, you may want to send a mean comment back, but it could make this worse. Instead, save the evidence and report it.

• Once it's out there, you can't take it back.  Nothing on the internet is truly private. 

• Being a good digital citizen means standing up for others. Take steps to help peers being cyberbullied (eg., post nice comments, sit with them at lunch, report the harassment, etc.).

• If you come across something that makes you feel uncomfortable or worse, report it!  Talk to someone you trust who can help, including teachers, a principal, or a parent.  When in doubt, talk it out.

• Do not share it with your friends.

• Another option is to report it to the app or service where you found it, which can help get the content deleted.  Most apps and services have tools for reporting and/or blocking inappropriate content, and it can help the people involved, their community, and the platforms themselves if we use those tools. 

  • Before blocking or reporting inappropriate content, it’s always wise to take a screenshot so that you have a record of the situation. 

• Frisco ISD uses STOPit, an online and app-based system, to empower students, parents, teachers and others to anonymously report anything of concern to school officials - from cyberbullying to threats of violence or self-harm. 

• With STOPit, users can submit anonymous reports containing text, photos, or video. Administrators are then able to manage incidents in a backend management system called DOCUMENTit. DOCUMENTit provides efficient and powerful investigative tools to staff, including the ability to message with the reporter, which will allow FISD to address issues instantly. To access STOPit and make an anonymous report:

  • Users can download the app from the App Store or Google Play and use corresponding access code for the District. Information and phone app access codes were sent to students at secondary campuses. Elementary parents and students may utilize the web-based version available on each campus home page. 

  • Web-based reporting via the STOPit website for each campus is available now. To make a report, visit your campus homepage and click on the STOPit logo.
