See Something, Say Something
See Something, Say Something
Are you worried about someone's immediate safety? Please call 911 to report your concern!
Wayne High School believes that all students have a right to a safe, secure, and healthy school environment. Our school, with support from our school district and community, is committed to promoting an atmosphere of mutual respect, tolerance, and acceptance.
You can help! Students and parents can take part in keeping our school safe by informing adults if you feel something does not seem right. There is nothing to be ashamed about by reporting or “telling” on someone to an adult if another student has emotionally or physically hurt you, someone you know, or someone you have observed being a victim. In most situations, this can be done confidentially. Below you will find useful information on how to let someone know.
One can say something by any of the following means:
- Telling a teacher
- Telling your counselor
- Telling someone in the office
- Telling the Assistant Principal or Principal
- Telling a parent
- Making a DASA report
- Contacting the Safe School Hotline (see below)
- If an emergency, calling 911.
The Safe School Hotline:
Wayne Central provides an educational environment where students can feel safe as they learn. The district is enrolled in Safe School Helpline to help us address any threats or immediate concerns about student safety. It is designed to assist you in reporting any wrongdoing that may impact our schools, our students, or our staff. You may choose to report anonymously to protect your privacy. Please know, however, that the system is monitored, and if abused, confidentiality won't be protected.
The three methods in which to report are (this service is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week):
Calling 1-800-4-1-VOICE, ext. 359
Texting the word "TIPS" to 614-426-0240
Web reporting online at safeschoolhelplinewebsite
The company also has introduced the Safe School Helpline app, available for both Apple and Android devices. This app quickly gives users all three options for reporting valuable information.
Callers are able to reconnect with the agency to be advised as to what actions were taken on their information.
In most cases, the company sends the district transcripts of calls they receive the next day. However, if the matter is urgent, school officials are contacted immediately, day or night.

Please remember, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!
