๐ก๏ธ PROTECT OUR SCHOOLS, STOP THE PANIC! ๐ก๏ธ
Ensuring a Safe and Motivating Learning Environment (ESMLE) is a shared responsibility of our "whole-of-society"โfrom learners and parents to teachers and local authorities. We are calling on everyone to be an ๏ฟผ๏ฟผUpstander: someone who acts and gets help from trusted adults to protect our school community.
If you receive or see a school threat or a "shooting joke" online, remember the STOP, VERIFY, and REPORT protocol:
โ
STOP & DON'T SHARE: Do not forward or repost the message. โSharing or reposting a threatโeven if you are just 'warning' othersโspreads unnecessary panic and disrupts the learning environment.โ Under our guidelines, spreading false information that creates commotion is a First Level Disciplinary Offense๏ฟผ
โ
VERIFY & DOCUMENT: Take a screenshot of the post or chat. Note the senderโs name, the platform used, and the time it was sent to help authorities trace the source.
โ
REPORT IMMEDIATELY: Refer the evidence directly to your School Head, Guidance Counselor, or trusted school personnel. The school will coordinate with the ๏ฟผPNP Anti-Cyber Crime Unit and CSWD to ensure immediate action.
โ ๏ธ REMINDER: Making or circulating threatsโeven in jestโis a Third Level Offense because of its severe impact on student safety. Such acts carry heavy penalties, including ๏ฟผNon-readmission or immediate Exclusion from the school.๏ฟผ
Letโs use our digital voices for protection, not for panic. Together, we can keep our schools a zone of peace!
