The SpeakUp Kyrene app empowers students, staff, and families to anonymously report safety concerns at any time—24/7/365. Whether it’s bullying, threats, self-harm, or other potential dangers, this tool provides a direct and secure way to speak up and protect our school communities. Designed for use across Kyrene School District, this system supports our commitment to student and staff well-being and safe learning environments. Every report goes to a live, 24/7 crisis center, where trained experts review, evaluate, and work with school officials and local law enforcement (when needed) to address concerns and intervene early—before someone is hurt. This reporting system is part of Kyrene’s broader safety strategy, which includes social-emotional support, safety training, emergency planning, and strong partnerships with public safety agencies. By working together—and saying something when we see something—we help create schools where every child can learn, grow, and thrive in safety.
