Anti-BullyingWe have recently implemented - Speak Up!, an anonymous anti-bullying monitoringand management platform enabling students, parents and community members toreport bullying and cyber-bullying incidents. This two-way communication system iscompletely anonymous, masking your phone number and contact information toschool administrators receiving the message.When a message is received, the school will be alerted and able to respond. Pleasedo not be alarmed when you receive a response, as the messaging system masks thephone number while still allowing for two-way communication. We hope with thisnew system we can assist our students in reporting incidents quickly and allow theschool to respond appropriately.To report an incident, please call or text 1-747-267-5618. If needed, you may wish toadd this phone number to your address book for easy retrieval. If you have anyquestions, please feel free to contact:Mr. Solache, Dean of Students, at 818-368-1557 ext 4 orMrs. Wilson, Director of Student Support Services 818-368-1557 ext 4
