Suspicious Activity Reporting and the INCIDENT REPORTING FORMS
Safety is a top priority at District 67 schools. The school-specific Incident Reporting Forms (located on the school website homepages) are an internal notification system designed to alert school officials about potential threats at District 67 schools. The Incident Reporting Forms empower students to become active stakeholders in the safety, security and well-being of our District 67 schools.
The Incident Reporting Forms can be used to report any of the following situations:
- School violence or threats
- Weapons
- Bullying and harassment
- Drug activity
- Other issues affecting students
When a report is received, a school administrator will evaluate the concern and take action to address the issue. Students are not required to provide their names in order to make a report. Submissions are only monitored during normal school hours.

As stakeholders, our parents, guardians, and families play a significant role in school safety and security. Please have regular conversations with your children about the importance of notifying school officials when they see or hear any suspicious activity involving any D67 schools. It is equally important to discuss the consequences of making/implying threats, in person, or on social media.This dialogue can help our students understand the negative impact that this type of behavior can have on our schools, as well as on their friends and their future.
Additionally, parents, guardians, and families are encouraged to contact your building principal if they believe their child can benefit from counseling or any other support.
Please note: The Incident Reporting Form is not a replacement for “Text-A-Tip.” The Incident Reporting Form is an in-house program monitored and managed by D67 Administrators. Students interested in contacting a Licensed Clinical Social Worker should continue to use the “Text-A-Tip” App.
