Safe 2 Say Something

Dear Resurrection Families:

As a school system, we are committed to creating and sustaining a comprehensive, coordinated effort to improve the overall safety and well-being of our students and staff. To do this, we believe this must involve community-wide programs and initiatives involving parents, teachers, administrators, local law enforcement, mental health & wellness professionals and elected officials to take meaningful action to protect our students.

I am happy to announce the launch of the “Safe2Say Something” (S2SS) anonymous reporting system, a program mandated in 2018 by PA state law, Act 44. It requires schools to train middle school students on how to use S2SS. Resurrection will train grade 6-8 students in the fall of each year. It teaches students, teachers and administrators how to recognize warning signs and signals, especially on social media, of individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and Say Something to a trusted adult OR use its anonymous reporting system. For specifics on this program, click HERE.

The state anticipates S2SS will help stop school shootings, suicides, and gun threats; it will help reduce bullying and cyberbullying, and help intervene upon cutting, drug use, racial conflicts, and other violent and victimization acts. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call (717-392-3083) or email me directly.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Hughes, Principal
