Rutherford County Schools 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, RCS 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.
NOTE: Students and parents will need to obtain the district's access code from their school before they can make a report using STOPit.
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 RCS to address issues instantly.
To access STOPit and make a report:
- Web-based reporting via the STOPit website for each campus is available now. To make a report, visit school's webpage and follow the link for STOPit.
- Rutherford County Schools has an app version of STOPit. Users can download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play and use corresponding access code for the Rutherford County Schools. Information and phone app access codes can be obtained from your school.
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.
