Above are some websites that can assist you in dealing with bullying if it is happening in your classrooms/special programs classes. The first link has webisodes that aren't long and you can show to your students. It also has games and activities that go with the webisode which are very helpful and fun for the students. I hope these websites are beneficial for your students. Please let me know if you ever need resources for any topic of concern in your classroom. I will be glad to help you out :)
CPS Information
Below is the CPS website and important information from the website. If you create an account the process is simplified when you have to make a report. Please feel free to come by my office if you have any questions about making a report to CPS. Thanks.
Why use this website?
The Department of Family and Protective Services provides this secure website for reporting suspicions of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of children, adults with disabilities, or people who are elderly (65 years or older). This website is ONLY for reporting situations that do not require an emergency response. An emergency is a situation where a child, adult with disabilities, or person who is elderly faces an immediate risk of abuse or neglect that could result in death or serious harm.
The Texas Family Code 261.101 requires professionals to make a report within 48 hours of first suspecting abuse, neglect or exploitation of children. The Human Resources code Chapter 48 (48.051) requires a person having cause to believe that an elderly or disabled person is in the state of abuse, neglect, or exploitation to report the information required immediately.
What if my report is an emergency?
Call 911 or your local law enforcement agency if the situation is an emergency.
When should I call the abuse hotline rather than use this web site? Reports made through this web site take up to 24 hours to process.
Call the Texas Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400 if :
· You believe your situation requires action in less than 24 hours.
· You prefer to remain anonymous.
· You have insufficient data to complete the required information on the report.
· You do not want an e-mail to confirm your report
