Safe School Helpline

Dear Orange Schools Parents,

Providing a safe and secure learning environment for your children is very important to all of us. We have numerous safety and security measures in place that we are always looking to enhance. This includes the Safe School Helpline.

Students, parents and community members should use the Safe School Helpline to report threats of violence, suicide, bullying and illegal activity that could harm children in our schools. This service will provide users the opportunity to leave a message or speak with a live crisis counselor for immediate needs. The helpline is administered by an independent, outside company. All communications are PRIVATE, CONFIDENTIAL and ANONYMOUS.

The Safe School Helpline can be accessed via three methods:

• By telephone at 1-800-4-1-VOICE ext. 359 (1-800-418-6423 ext. 359)
• Online at www.safeschoolhelpline.com
• By texting 614-426-0240 and typing "TIPS" as the message.

Your message will be communicated with school officials. All information will remain anonymous to encourage the reporting of all safety concerns. Your report will be assigned a case number, which you may use later to confirm that your report was received and investigated.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s building principal.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lynn Campbell
Superintendent
