School-Based Therapy

New Dimensions is excited to partner with A Caring Alternative to provide school based therapy for our students and families. We will be utilizing funds for students-in-crisis services to contract with a Caring Alternative to assist with the physical, mental, emotional, and social health needs of students and families. These funds will provide support to our students as they grow and achieve.

Campus Cameras

New Dimensions School is in the process of installing security cameras throughout our building and grounds. These cameras will make an already safe school even safer. In addition, the NDS Administration and Officer Kinard will have 24/7 access to live camera footage from offices and mobile apps. This is another giant leap forward in making the safety of New Dimensions a top priority.

Say Something Anonymous Reporting System

New Dimensions Public Charter School participates in the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System, a nationally recognized school safety program developed by Sandy Hook Promise.

This program empowers students to speak up about safety concerns by submitting anonymous tips through a mobile app or phone call. Reports may include concerns such as bullying, threats, weapons, substance use, or other situations that could impact student safety.

Tips are immediately received by school administrators and, when appropriate, local law enforcement. All reports are reviewed and addressed promptly to ensure student safety and well-being.

The app allows users to:

  • Submit text, photos, or videos

  • Remain anonymous

  • Communicate securely with administrators

  • Report mental health or suicide concerns

The Say Something app is available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

At New Dimensions, we are committed to ensuring every student has a voice and feels safe at school.
