Say Something at TMSA
A Sandy Hook Promise School
TMSA is proud to be a “See Something, Say Something” school through the Sandy Hook Promise program, a nationally recognized initiative that teaches students how to identify warning signs, speak up, and protect themselves and others. Safety is our top priority, and we believe every scholar plays an important role in keeping our school community safe.
The “See Something, Say Something” program empowers students to use their voice when something does not feel right. When scholars report concerns early, trusted adults can take action to prevent harm, support students in need, and maintain a safe, welcoming learning environment.
What to Report
Scholars should report anything that makes them feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or worried about themselves or someone else. This includes:
Bullying & Harassment
- Name-calling, teasing, threats
- Exclusion or spreading rumors
- Cyberbullying
- Harassing language or behavior (racial, sexual, or personal)
Safety Concerns
- Fighting or threats of violence
- Weapons or unsafe objects
- Dangerous behavior
- Someone talking about hurting themselves or others
Emotional or Behavioral Warning Signs
- A friend who seems withdrawn, sad, or angry
- Someone expressing hopelessness or self-harm
- Sudden changes in behavior or personality
- Social media posts that seem alarming or unsafe
Suspicious or Concerning Behavior
- Vandalism
- Theft
- Inappropriate messages, images, or online behavior
- Any action that creates a hostile or unsafe environment
If you see it, hear it, or sense it, you should say something.

This reporting system allows students to share concerns confidentially and ensures the right people receive the information quickly.
3. Ask a Friend to Help Report
If a scholar feels unsure, they may ask a friend to go with them to an adult.
4. Write It Down
Students may write a note to a teacher or counselor if speaking feels uncomfortable.
Why Reporting Matters
Speaking up is a powerful act of leadership. Reporting helps:
- Prevent bullying
- Stop unsafe situations before they escalate
- Get support for students who are struggling
- Build a caring, connected school community
At TMSA, reporting is not tattling.
It is protecting your school, your classmates, and yourself.
