The Student Safety Line

This is an anonymous way for you to tell someone about your personal or school safety concerns. You can leave an anonymous message with information for the TDSB to follow-up. You do not need to give your name to make a report. You can leave a voice message without anyone knowing or finding out who you are. Messages are checked regularly during the school day.

You are encouraged to call whenever you hear, see or experience something that threatens the safety and welfare of anyone at your school. You can make reports about threats, suspicious activities, violence, physical assaults, weapons, intimidation, bullying, sexual harassment or anything else that worries you.
