About STOPit
-
Rodriguez Middle School uses STOPit, an online and app-based system to empower students, parents, teachers 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, Rodriguez MS is taking a proactive step to empower students to become Upstanders in our community in the way that they feel most comfortable. RMS believes adoption of STOPit is an important step in the continued effort to provide a positive school climate and a safe learning environment for students.
