Safe2Tell App and School Safety

One of the best ways to keep our school safe is to report concerning behavior. Talk to your kids and encourage them to download the free Safe2Tell app on their phones to report behavior by others that is concerning to them. They remain anonymous and they just might save a life. The information about the app can be found at https://safe2tell.org/safe2tell-colorado-mobile-app
