STOPit! ANTIBULLYING APP
New Town Schools now has STOPit, an online and app-based system, to empower
students, parents, and others to anonymously report anything of
concern to school officials - from cyber-bullying to threats of
violence or self-harm.
STOPit does more than just help schools address incidents and
mitigate risk. STOPit will also help us go beyond reacting to bullying
and inappropriate behavior, and instead start deterring it. As young
people continue to engage more with technology every day, NTPS believes
the adoption of STOPit is an important step in the continued effort to
provide a positive school climate and a safe learning environment for
students.
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 administration to address issues instantly.
To access STOPit and make a report:
- NTPS has an app version of STOPit. Users can download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play and use corresponding access code for the schools.
* The code for elementary students is: NTELEagles
- The code for the middle school and high school is: NTMSHSEAGLES
Please keep in mind, STOPit is not an emergency response service. If you believe your call requires immediate police, fire or paramedic response, call 9-1-1. STOPit does not provide counseling or clinical advice. If you feel you need this type of attention, please seek the assistance of a qualified clinical or medical professional.
