Colonial 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.

Use the free STOPit mobile app to anonymously report incidents to law enforcement. Reporting is completely anonymous. You can include text, images, and video. It only takes a few seconds.

Report incidents such as:

Violence
Threats
Weapons
Alcohol or Drug Issues

How to Report Your Concern

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 the Colonial School District to address issues instantly.
