๐ข ATTENTION!
Bayabas National High School advocates for a safe and secure digital space for everyone. Please guide yourselves with the Upstander Action Plan on handling online school threats (DepEd Order No. 006, s. 2026).
Do not share. Document and report immediately to trusted school personnel! ๐๐ฑ
๐ก๏ธ PROTECT OUR SCHOOLS, STOP THE PANIC! ๐ก๏ธ
Ensuring a Safe and Motivating Learning Environment (ESMLE) is a shared responsibility of our "whole-of-society"โfrom learners and parents to teachers and local authorities. We are calling on everyone to be an ๏ฟผ๏ฟผUpstander: someone who acts and gets help from trusted adults to protect our school community.
If you receive or see a school threat or a "shooting joke" online, remember the STOP, VERIFY, and REPORT protocol:
โ
STOP & DON'T SHARE: Do not forward or repost the message. โSharing or reposting a threatโeven if you are just 'warning' othersโspreads unnecessary panic and disrupts the learning environment.โ Under our guidelines, spreading false information that creates commotion is a First Level Disciplinary Offense๏ฟผ
โ
VERIFY & DOCUMENT: Take a screenshot of the post or chat. Note the senderโs name, the platform used, and the time it was sent to help authorities trace the source.
โ
REPORT IMMEDIATELY: Refer the evidence directly to your School Head, Guidance Counselor, or trusted school personnel. The school will coordinate with the ๏ฟผPNP Anti-Cyber Crime Unit and CSWD to ensure immediate action.
โ ๏ธ REMINDER: Making or circulating threatsโeven in jestโis a Third Level Offense because of its severe impact on student safety. Such acts carry heavy penalties, including ๏ฟผNon-readmission or immediate Exclusion from the school.๏ฟผ
Letโs use our digital voices for protection, not for panic. Together, we can keep our schools a zone of peace!
