Reporting Safety Concerns

If you believe someone is unsafe at school or is creating an unsafe environment for others, the best way to report it is by speaking directly with your school principal. Your principal is best equipped to respond quickly and take appropriate action to keep everyone safe.

We understand that you may wish to remain anonymous, and that’s okay. We still want to hear from you. The more information you can provide, the better we can respond.

How to Report a Concern Anonymously:

  1. Share the Details
    It’s okay if you don’t have all the information. Please share as much as you can:

    • Who was involved

    • What occurred

    • Where it happened

    • When it happened (day, date, morning/afternoon, or approximate time)

    • How often it has occurred

  2. Help Us Connect with Witnesses
    If possible, direct us to others who may have first-hand knowledge:

    • Use first and last names if known

    • If names are unknown, describe individuals by age, grade level, or physical description

Every report matters. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and supportive learning environment.

Safety Concerns

At Ellensburg School District, keeping everyone safe is our top priority. If you ever see or hear something that makes you feel unsafe—like someone bringing drugs or a weapon to school, talking about hurting themselves or others, fighting, vandalism, or any other serious issue—you can report it using our STOPit safety system. You can send a tip through a form on the website, by email, or even by text, and it will go straight to school and district staff who can help. If it’s an emergency or someone is in immediate danger, always call 911 right away. No concern is too small to report.

HIB

Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB) Tip

If you’re worried that someone at school is being mean, unsafe, or making others feel uncomfortable, it’s important to speak up. School leaders look at three things to decide if it’s harassment, intimidation, or bullying (also called HIB): Is the behavior happening more than once? Is it meant to hurt or target someone on purpose? And does the person doing it have more power, like being older or more popular? It doesn’t have to check all three boxes to be serious. If you’re not sure, that’s okay—just tell your principal or use the school’s anonymous tip system so they can help.
