End of Year SafeUT Reminders

Throughout the summer SafeUT tips will continue to be sent through the Dashboard to all individuals assigned. If there are any needed changes to SafeUt settings over the summer please contact Angie Rasmussen or McKinley Withers. Issues and tips received through SafeUT should continue to be addressed throughout the summer.

It is critical that ALL SafeUT tips are “closed” in a timely manner and your schools SafeUt Dashboard is up to date because:

  • When tips are not closed, it appears that the school did not address or respond to the concern.
  • The data is used for funding decisions.
  • SafeUT uses the feedback to improve how tips are distributed which impacts our work.

Use these steps to close SafeUt tips:

  1. Document in the School Assessment area. MUST select at least one option under each category.
    1. Choose a student action taken for the student that was involved in the tip.
    2. If there was a threat claimed in the tip, was it verified?
    3. Click Save Information.
  2. Document the texter information (this is the information for the individual of concern which is not always the tipster).
    1. Select gender and age range.
    2. Click Save Information.
  3. Add a Disposition Note
    1. There must be at least one (1) disposition note entered prior to closing the tip. This could be about who was involved, what happened, and/or how the tip was resolved.
    2. Click Add Note to save.
  4. Close the Tip (click “Close the Tip” in the upper right corner)
    1. A drop box will appear and you choose the best option from the list and then click close.
    2. Once the tip is closed it will be removed from the school list.

Here is a step-by-step information sheet that includes this process with images.
