BULLYING AND HARASSMENT

Johnsonburg Area School District strives to maintain a safe, positive learning environment for students and staff that is free from bullying, harassment, and hazing. We strictly prohibit all such activities.

Safe Schools

Our school safety program, Safe 2 Say, teaches students, educators, and administrators how to recognize bullying and the signs of threatening behavior (both towards oneself and others) and anonymously report that information. Safe 2 Say gives our students a voice—and helps save lives.

You can report a tip online, through the Safe2Say mobile app, or by calling the Pennsylvania crisis hotline at 1(844) SAF2SAY.
