The Tippecanoe School Corporation does not tolerate bullying and strives to create an environment where students feel comfortable going to an adult to report a problem.

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones and computers, or online on social media. The Indiana Department of Education provides these resources for Bullying and Cyberbullying Prevention and Response.

The TSC provides training to school corporation employees and volunteers who have direct, ongoing contact with students. This training covers the corporation’s bullying prevention policy, plans and procedures.

Any student who believes he or she has been subject to bullying needs to report it immediately, complete an incident report and submit the written report to their school principal.

• Bullying incident report - for students
• Bullying incident report - for parents
• Bullying incident report - for school personnel

The WeTip Hotline allows anyone to make an anonymous report about bullying or any other information related to school safety. The number is 1-800-78-CRIME (1-800-782-7463).

Mental Health America – Wabash Valley Region has a new, free service for families who are looking for mental health or substance use services for themselves or someone in their family.

To support remote and virtual learners who may have issues accessing high speed internet, the TSC has installed an outdoor WiFi antenna at each of its elementary and middle schools. The same solution will be installed at the high schools during upcoming renovations. 

The TSC has partnered with Wintek/Tipmont to offer free, public WiFi at four of the outdoor Wifi locations (Klondike Elementary, East Tipp Middle, Southwestern Middle, and Wainwright Middle). This interactive map shows Wintek's public WiFi offerings throughout the region. At these locations, the TSC WiFi networks are available (TSC account required) as well as Wintek's free Wifi Network (no account required). The other 14 locations are only broadcasting the TSC WiFi networks (no free public option). 

To access the outdoor WiFi options, patrons can drive their car near the locations identified on the maps linked below. For the free public options, users will connect their device to the “Free Wintek WiFi” signal. Patrons must agree to Wintek's terms of use before connecting and should treat this with the same caution as any other public internet connection. Use care when connecting to any websites that require a password or personal information. This includes social networking sites, online banking services or any websites that store your credit card information.

To access the TSC WiFi networks, a student or staff username and password is required. Users of these networks are subject to the TSC's Acceptable Use Policies.

Users are strongly encouraged to practice social distancing measures when using the outdoor WiFi at these locations. 

Report any wrongdoing that impacts our schools, our students or our staff! Your call to 1-800-78-CRIME (1-800-782-7463) will allow you to leave your information without identification. Your message will be sent immediately to school officials.
