Parents,
As many of you know there have been several changes to the school district this year revolving around safety & security. We strive to ensure that Oxford USD 358 is a safe, secure, & positive learning environment for your student while they are in our care.
We would like to encourage all parents, students, & staff to download the app “HelpMe” to their phone or electronic devices. It is FREE & available on Apple & GooglePlay. The app will be available on all school tablets.
The HELPme app, developed by StopItSolutions, is a mobile platform designed to support students, staff, and families in K-12 schools by providing a variety of resources and support channels, including self-help resources, access to trained crisis counselors through Crisis Text Line, and direct connections to school and community resources. It aims to help individuals get help in a way that protects their privacy and dignity.
Search for our school, “Oxford 358 Highschool” &/or “Oxford 358 Elementary.”
You will have 3 options:
· Resources: This will give you options of local resources for food, clothing, or shelter.
· Crisis Text Line: This gives you the ability to access 24/7 counsellors.
· Ask For Help (School): This gives you the ability to report bullying, threats, discrimination, vandalism etc. You will have the option to remain anonymous in this feature. A notification will be sent to school administrative staff at the school to address & handle your report accordingly. This feature will not be available during summer, as we are not in school, however, it will automatically be turned back on August 1st 2025. All other options will be available during summer break.
Thank you.
