The Wentzville School District is implementing a CyberBully Hotline which will create an anonymous, two-way means for students, parents, guardians and others to report incidents of bullying, harassment, or intimidation.

The CyberBully Hotline number for the District is (636) 234-9135, and text messages or voice calls can be received. The service is operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

A designated school official receives the message directly. All calls are anonymous.

The school district can reply to messages and have two-way anonymous conversations, so students are more likely to provide information and get whatever help or assistance is necessary.

In order for the District to be able to reply to a voice or text message, the call must be from a cellular phone. The reply will be in the form of a text message. Users are encouraged to provide as much information as they feel comfortable providing.
