Anonymous Reporting
Treynor CSD offers students, parents and staff the ability to anonymously report threats to self or others using three tools: StopIt Anonymous Reporting System (ARS), Safe and Sound Iowa or the SpeakUp app recently made available in Pottawattamie County, Iowa.
Safe and Sound Iowa
Safe+Sound Iowa is available to K–12 schools statewide at no charge by the Governor’s School Safety Bureau. It was developed to help prevent violence, unlawful possession of weapons, self-harm and other forms of victimization and threatening behaviors. Similar programs have been successful in preventing tragedy and saving lives in schools across the country, including Colorado, Pennsylvania and Arizona.
HOW SAFE+SOUND IOWA WORKS
In past school attacks in the United States, 92% of those who noticed concerning behaviors before the events were schoolmates.* Students may not report warning signs due to feelings of anxiety or intimidation, fear of retaliation or not knowing who to talk to. Safe+Sound Iowa removes these barriers with easy, convenient and confidential ways to report safety concerns. Reports can be made securely and anonymously:
- Online at SafeandSoundIowa.gov
- Through the Safe+Sound Iowa mobile app, or
- By phone at 800-224-6018.
Trained dispatchers monitor reports 24/7 and immediately engage in two-way communication with those raising concerns. They then reach out to the appropriate local school safety contact, law enforcement or other community partners.

CrisisGo
CrisisGo covers every step, from preparedness to recovery, with easy-to-use applications, devices and integrations for every role and scenario for schools. Treynor CSD has been using CrisisGo for drill and crisis management with staff for over 5 years.
The CrisisGo application offers the ability for administrators to field bully, suicide or other reports, which can be done anonymously if the user selects to hide their contact information with the submission.
Report options include:
SpeakUp
