The West Plains R-VII School District is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, staff, and the broader school community. As part of this commitment, the district actively participates in Courage2Report, a vital safety program provided by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. This confidential reporting system empowers students, parents, and community members to anonymously report safety concerns, threats, or suspicious behavior.
What is Courage2Report?
Courage2Report is a 24/7 confidential reporting tool that allows individuals to share concerns related to bullying, threats, or dangerous activities. Reports can be submitted online, via a mobile app, by text, or by phone call. Once submitted, reports are immediately directed to multiple agencies, including school officials, to ensure quick and appropriate action.

Why It Matters
Programs like Courage2Report provide a confidential and anonymous platform for students and parents to speak up without fear of retaliation. Early reporting can prevent dangerous situations from escalating and helps foster a safer, more supportive environment for all. Courage2Report is an important way for everyone in the school community to practice the message: “See Something, Say Something.”
How Families Can Help
Parents are encouraged to talk to their children about the importance of speaking up when they see something concerning. Let them know their voice matters, and that using Courage2Report is a safe, responsible way to help keep their school safe. Families are also encouraged to familiarize themselves with the reporting options so they can guide their child if needed.
