SpeakUp Anonymous Reporting System
Newport News Public Schools has launched a new anonymous reporting system. SpeakUp provides a simple way for students and families to easily and confidentially report threats of violence, bullying, peers in crisis and other imminent threats.
SpeakUp's trained safety representatives monitor and evaluate reported tips 24/7/365 and send an email regarding non-life-threatening situations to designated school contacts or district staff members. In more urgent situations, district-appointed contacts are notified immediately by phone. In the most imminent cases, SpeakUp representatives will contact law enforcement to intervene if they are unable to notify a district-appointed contact.
Report safety concerns anytime:
- Students may click the SpeakUp icon on their Chromebook
- Email [email protected]
- Call or text: (757) 765-4440
