If you are experiencing an emergency situation, dial 9-1-1.
As part of our efforts to make safety our first priority, the Stephens County School System is encouraging all students and parents to download the mobile “See Something, Send Something” app.
Offered by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency/Homeland Security, the app enables students, parents, and the community to anonymously report student tips about weapons, drugs, bullying, mental health concerns, and/or other school safety concerns 24/7 and is monitored by trained, emergency professionals.
Please download the free app on your cell phone to remind you to always be aware of your surroundings, and so the app is readily available if needed. Here is a link for more information and to access the free mobile app download: https://gema.georgia.gov/get-involved/report-threat.
NOTE: This incident reporting system is NOT intended for emergency situations. For situations requiring an immediate response, call 9-1-1.
