Safety & Wellness
Student and Staff Safety and Wellness are
Top Priorities in the Kettering City Schools
The Kettering City Schools and the Kettering Police Department work actively together to ensure our schools remain a safe place for our staff members to work and students to learn and grow.
REPORT SAFETY CONCERNS
Through the district's notification system, The Education Connection (TEC), anyone can access a Safety Tip Line...when you witness verbal, written, physical, or social media safety concerns, PLEASE SPEAK UP!
You can report anonymously any safety issue by calling TEC at (937) 643-4444, choosing Option 7 and selecting the respective school.
You can also do the same by going online to kettering.tipline.info. The prompts will ask for the date, time, location, and names of those involved. The information will be forwarded to the proper authority. All reports can be made anonymously and are taken seriously and will be investigated thoroughly by school administration and the Kettering Police Department, if warranted.
Please take a moment now to write down, file, or store the Tip Line Contact Information so that it is handy when a safety concern arises.
