Safety

September 2022

Students in 6th grade participated in their first counseling lesson of the year with an overview of the services available through the counseling department at school. Each year during September students go over the roles of the school counselor. We discuss safe reporting for issues of bullying or challenges that may need an adult's help while at school. We discuss the individuals in the school each student identifies as a trusted adult. Students discuss the types of student safety concerns that should always be shared with a trusted adult. Students are also made aware of the TIPS reporting tool on Sycamore that can be accessed for students (or parents) who wish to report a concern that could be a safety issue for an individual or the school. These reports can be made anonymously and are shared with diocesan leaders to help maintain safe environments in our schools. Students at school are empowered to speak up and look for ways to be leaders and role models for others.
