School Counselor’s Corner

At the South Sioux City School District - safety, diversity, and respect are important behaviors in our schools. We expect it of all students and staff. On this site, we have the Safe2HelpNE App, website and free phone number specifically created to report Bullying.  Use that service if you feel like you have experienced bullying as defined in the policy below or if you have a general incident of concern to report.  Feel free to report positive incidents using the Let’s Talk link.
