Good evening, parents.
Cabarrus County Schools is pleased to announce the launch of the
Say Something Anonymous Reporting System (SS-ARS). The SS-ARS Program is being provided and sustained at no cost to us through Sandy Hook Promise (SHP), a national non-profit organization that works to improve school safety and culture.
This program teaches students, teachers and administrators how to recognize warning signs and signals, especially within 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.
Specifically, the program educates participants to:
- Recognize the signs and signals of at-risk behaviors – especially within social media
- Take every sign and signal seriously; act quickly to get help by talking to a trusted adult OR
- Report it anonymously through SS-ARS 24/7 Crisis Center, mobile app or website
- Respond to and manage the submitted tip via multi-disciplinary educator and administrator teams
- Sustain the curriculum and awareness via student clubs, in-school activities and call-to-action weeks
More than 7.5 million students and adults have been trained in Sandy Hook Promise’s signature, evidence-based
Know the Signs programs that include
Say Something Anonymous Reporting System. CCS students, teachers and administrators at our middle and high schools are in the process of completing the training.
You can access the
Say Something reporting tool through our district website at
