WeTip - Anonymous Reporting for Safety and Bullying Concerns
We'd like to share that the Hueneme Elementary School District officially launched our new anonymous reporting system, WeTip. Please note the different ways a student may make a report:
- Text REPORT to 844.805.7893
Simply text REPORT to the dedicated phone number to receive a link directly to your mobile device where you can submit any report safely and anonymously.
- Visit the home page of any HESD School Website
Our web-based form gives you an online, anonymous way to report unfolding situations through every school website. You can choose to remain completely anonymous. There is a link on every school website.
- Call (844) 805-7893
Speak anonymously with a trained WeTip Agent to report any bullying, threats, discrimination, or other tips. Report anytime day or night, whatever is most comfortable for you. A bilingual agent is available 24/7.
- Scan the QR Code (On all HESD WeTip Posters)
HESD has been provided with a dedicated QR Code that, when scanned, will take you directly to online reporting forms where you can easily submit concerns.
