Parent Guide

It is of the utmost importance to us that our students are safe physically, academically, and emotionally and that includes freedom from bullying. In accordance with district guidelines and in compliance with David’s Law, Tarkington Independent School District is continuing their partnership with STOPit.

STOPit is an online reporting tool designed to deter and mitigate bullying and cyber abuse. This mobile app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play to any device. Reports can also be made via the website https://appweb.stopitsolutions.com/login

There are two features to the mobile app: Report can be used by students and parents to report incidents to school administrators anonymously. Messenger can be used to engage in anonymous two-way communication with school administrators. This program empowers students to stand up for themselves and for one another. Students and parents have the power to help put an end to harmful and inappropriate behavior they see online through social media and other means. They can use STOPit to reach out for help if they, or a peer, are facing a personal crisis or are experiencing bullying, abuse, or are otherwise in need of assistance. Our goal with STOPit is to create a safer, kinder school community, both online and off. No student information is needed to use STOPit. The only way personally identifiable information will be accessible through STOPit is if a student voluntarily includes it within the content of a report or message.

As always, the education and well-being of students is our highest priority. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 346-532-2010
