Dear Districts 67 and District 115 Parents, Guardians, Students, and Staff,

This week is National Say Something Week, and I’d like to share some important information.

This initiative is all about fostering a culture of safety and encouraging everyone to be proactive in reporting anything that could impact the well-being of our students, staff, and visitors. Sometimes, spotting warning signs isn't easy, but with your help, we can create a safer environment for everyone.

It all comes down to three things:

– Recognizing the Signs

– Acting Immediately, Taking It Seriously

– Saying Something

If you come across anything that raises concern, please speak up. Report it until you're confident that it's being addressed

Here's how you can report concerns:

• Talk to a family member, teacher, dean, or other trusted adult.

• Use our Reporting Tools for each district:

• District 115

• Confidential Reporting Tool.

• District 67

• Cherokee

• Everett

• Sheridan

• DPM

• Visit Safe2Help Illinois website for 24/7 reporting via calls, texts, web, email, or download the app. Safe2Help Illinois is designed to maintain confidentiality, aiming to encourage students to “Seek Help Before Harm” not to impose disciplinary measures

• In an Emergency, Call 911. Local first responders are ready to help.

Your vigilance plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of our school community. Thank you for your commitment to the safety and well-being of our school community.

Best regards,

Chuck Walsh

Director of Safety and Security
