At Brea Olinda Unified School District, we are dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of our students, educators, and the entire community. To achieve this important goal, BOUSD has launched the Sandy Hook Promise Say Something Anonymous Reporting System (ARS) across our schools. Sandy Hook Promise is a national nonprofit organization founded and led by several family members whose loved ones were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Based in Newtown, Connecticut, their intent is to honor all victims of gun violence by turning their tragedy into a moment of transformation. By empowering youth to “know the signs” and uniting all people who value the protection of children, we can take meaningful actions in schools, homes, and communities to prevent gun violence and stop the tragic loss of life.
KEY FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM
  • Recognize At-Risk Behaviors: Participants will learn how to identify signs of distress or harmful behaviors in their peers. 
  • Take Action: The program emphasizes the importance of acting immediately by either talking to a trusted adult or reporting concerns anonymously through the system.
  • 24/7 Support: Students can access a Crisis Center at any time via the Say Something mobile app, website, or hotline for confidential reporting.
  • Ongoing Awareness: We will promote safety through student clubs, in-school activities, and special awareness weeks designed to keep these conversations alive.
