How to Report Bullying Anonymously

Anonymous Reporting of Bullying, Cyberbullying, and/or Retaliation

Please use the secure form below to report an incident(s) of bullying, cyberbullying, or retaliation.

If you prefer you can also file an anonymous report of bullying, cyberbullying or retaliation by leaving a voice mail at the Somerville Public Schools' bullying hotline (617) 629-5222 or by emailing bullying@k12.somerville.ma.us. If you choose to send an email report please consider using an email account that does not identify you by name.

The Director of Student Services will begin a preliminary investigation of this anonymous report as soon as it is received. If necessary the Principal/designee of the School(s) being affected by the incident(s) you are reporting here.

Please be aware that we will not administer any disciplinary actions solely on the basis on an anonymous report. There are consequences for making a false allegation of bullying.

If you want help filling out this form please contact the Enrollment Office (formerly the Parent Information Center) at (617) 625-6600 x6962. If no one is there to answer the phone please leave a message and someone will return your call right away. Thank you!
