SMUHSD News: Anonymous Alerts Launched May 1st
|
San Mateo Union High School District has enrolled with Anonymous Alerts®, the award-winning and patented anonymous reporting platform for schools nationwide.
 Anonymous Alerts® launched Tuesday, May 1st!
Anonymous Alerts® empowers students with an easy-to-use mobile app to safely and anonymously report urgent concerns to school officials.
Topics may include cyber-bullying, threats, drug or alcohol use/dealing, violence, self-harm or other types of incidents.
In addition to app-based reporting, students can send in a report from any computer through a web link located on the district website and on school websites as well.
All reports sent through the mobile app or online reporting are 100% anonymous.
How do I place a report from an iPhone or Android phone?
- From the iPhone Store, download the free app by searching for "Anonymous Alerts."
- If you have an Android phone, go to the Play Store, search for "Anonymous Alerts" and download.
- After downloading the app, click on it, enter setup/login sanmateouhsd and enter sanmateouhsd as your password.
If a student or peer is facing a personal difficulty or experiencing bullying, abuse, or are otherwise concerned about something, they can send in a report that gives schools the information needed to keep students safe.
We are very excited to launch this new program to students!
