There are also Student Reporting forms under the Student Information section of each campus's website, and a new anonymous Safe Schools Reporting system offered by Crimestoppers.

If you are concerned that someone under the age of 18 is being abused, call the Child Protection Hotline, 855-4LA-KIDS (855-452-5437) toll-free 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The Willow School’s faculty and staff are all Mandated Reporters of Child Abuse and Neglect. You can learn more about Mandated Reporters here.

If your family lives in any of the following conditions:

  • In a shelter

  • In a motel, campground due to a lack of alternative adequate accommodations

  • In a car, a park, an abandoned building, or a bus or train station
