The district’s Crime Stoppers in Schools program announced the Speak Up program, which allows students, staff and parents the ability to send anonymous tips through a secure website. The funding for the services is provided by Crime Stoppers of Wichita/Sedgwick County and Target.

Speak Up allows anyone to share information that will be anonymously received. The service offers submission of tips through both a secure website online, as well as text messages that are encrypted and routed through secure servers to protect the sender.  In either case, the user is given an alias and a unique ID before the message is sent to the school. This allows the user and the school representative to have a two-way dialog without revealing the sender’s identity.

Students can text SPEAKUP plus their tip to CRIMES (274637) or click on the green "Speak Up" Logo that can always be on the lower right hand corner of this website.

Thank you for all your patience during this ever changing time.  As with all construction problems, streets close and re-open on a day-by-day or even hour-by hour basis. We are eagerly waiting for the project’s completion this spring.

To help accommodate these constant changes, bus students may be released early as needed to facilitate the safe departure of buses and decrease traffic congestion.  Students who walk, drive or are picked up by private vehicle may be released later to ensure the safety of all students, families and staff.
