SEE TELL NOW is a statewide system being utilized by a number of school districts across Idaho. It is an all-inclusive tipline for students and adults to report incidents of concern to school personnel, law enforcement officers, or mental health professionals. SEE - When you are in and around your school, simply be aware of your surroundings. You may notice something that doesn’t seem right, looks odd or is simply out of the ordinary. TELL - If something doesn't look right, tell someone at your school or call the police – but tell someone. We want to know what’s happening at our schools, and your observations are important to us. Do it NOW! Don’t wait, don’t hesitate. If something looks out of place to you, it likely is. When it comes to your safety and the safety of others, it’s always a better idea to be safe than sorry.
