As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety, students at Minerva High School and Middle School recently received training on the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System (Say Something ARS). We want to ensure that all community members are aware of this valuable resource and are encouraged to use it to report any concerns.
The Say Something ARS is a crucial tool that allows students in grades 4-12 to privately and safely share concerns about safety threats or a classmate at risk of self-harm. By taking action when warning signs are observed, we can provide intervention and assistance before a crisis occurs.
You can submit a tip anonymously through multiple reporting options:
Mobile App
Text- Tip to 79775
Phone Hotline: 1-844-572-9669

Sincerely,
Mark Scott
Superintendent- Minerva Local Schools

To keep you informed and involved, we’re continuing to use Rooms, our two-way communication tool that helps you stay connected with your child’s teachers and school staff.
And this year, the experience will be even better.
