SpeakUp App
Noblesville Schools is dedicated to creating a safe environment for all students and staff. To support this
effort, we have had a reporting email in place for many years where students could confidentially report
concerns to school leadership.

New this year we are introducing an app reporting tool SpeakUp on high school and middle school
student iPads.

This app replaces the old email address and allows students to confidentially report any concerning
behavior to their administrators and counselors. This tool empowers students to be proactive at the first
sign of any concerning behavior so that it can be appropriately addressed in a timely fashion, with a
focus on providing assistance and support to students in need.

Examples of issues that might be raised through the app could include bullying, harassment, depression,
drugs, violence, inappropriate relationships, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Director of Student Services Laura Denis
at (317) 773-3171.
