StopIT Antibullying app
Gilroy Unified School District uses STOPit, an online and app-based system, to empower students, parents, teachers and others to anonymously report anything of concern to school officials - from cyber-bullying to threats of violence or self-harm.
STOPit does more than just help schools address incidents and mitigate risk. STOPit will also help us go beyond reacting to bullying and inappropriate behavior, and instead start deterring it. As young people continue to engage more with technology every day, GUSD believes the adoption of STOPit is an important step in the continued effort to provide a positive school climate and a safe learning environment for students.
With STOPit, users can submit anonymous reports containing text, photos, or video. Administrators are then able to manage incidents in a backend management system called DOCUMENTit. DOCUMENTit provides efficient and powerful investigative tools to staff, including the ability to message with the reporter, which will allow GUSD to address issues instantly. To access STOPit and make an anonymous report:
- Gilroy Unified School District launched an optional app version of STOPit in February 2019. Users can download the app from the App Store or Google Play and use corresponding access code for the District. Information and phone app access codes were sent to students at secondary campuses. Elementary parents and students may utilize the web-based version available on each campus home page.
- Web-based reporting via the STOPit website for each campus is available now. To make a report, visit your campus homepage and click on the STOPit logo.
Please keep in mind, STOPit is not an emergency response service. If you believe your call requires immediate police, fire, or paramedic response, call 9-1-1. STOPit does not provide counseling or clinical advice. If you feel you need this type of attention, please seek the assistance of a qualified clinical or medical professional.
