Yuma School District-1 has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first school district in Colorado to receive the Safe2Tell GOLD STAR Award for all of its schools for the 2024-2025 school year! This recognition from the Attorney General’s Office highlights our commitment to student safety and well-being.
Yuma Middle School was the pioneer, receiving its Gold Star award in the 2023-24 school year. SRO Hass assisted in providing Safe2Tell presentations to students and parents, along with comprehensive training for staff and administrators, ensuring that safety remains a top priority. As a longtime partner of Safe2Tell, we recognize the vital role it plays in fostering a safe educational environment.
“Safe2Tell gives students, parents, and community members a safe, anonymous way to report any threats to their safety or the safety of someone else. Safe2Tell is a nationally recognized and replicated model for anonymous reporting. Anyone who has information about a potentially dangerous situation can call the toll-free, state-wide number at 1-877-542-7233, make a web report by clicking the Make a Report button at the top and side of the page, by downloading the mobile app and making a report from a smartphone, or by texting S2TCO to 738477. A trained Safe2Tell analyst will then forward the information to local teams consisting of schools, law enforcement, mental health, and/or other partners. Local partners have full authority over report response and outcomes.” – Safe2Tell
