Students: Break the Code of Silence

We want students to be safe in school. What can we do?

OK2SAY is a new program launched by the State of Michigan for students. The program attempts to stop violent behavior and threats before it occurs by peers or in the school. It operates as a CONFIDENTIAL hotline for students, school staff, neighbors and parents to report and share any violent threats in the schools.

Students - How can I report a threat?
When you see someone get bullied, do you walk away because you're afraid? OK2SAY asks that you report any type of violence at school and this includes bullying. You're information (name) is confidential. So why not break the code of silence and send a text to OK2SAY to report this incidence.

Are you Going to 'Stay Quiet'?
So often students remain quiet and do not report threats that go on with their peers at school. When you see someone getting hurt or in trouble, are you going to stay quiet or go get help? What if you were in that situation--would you want the 'watcher' to walk away or go get help for you? 

How Does it Work?

Submit tips and threat reports:

1) Text to 652729

2) Call 8-555-652729

3) Go to the website

4) Send an email

These tips are then on to local authority and law enforcement.

What is Articulated College Credit?

What is Articulated Credit?     

Articulated and Direct College Credits allow high school students to acquire college credits upon successful completion of a college level course. Eaton RESA's programs are based upon college level work. So students can earn college credits if they pass all the necessary requirements to complete the program (assessment tests, homework, test, grades). 
 
What is the difference between Articulated and Direct Credit?  

Direct Credit allows you to earn college credits that can transfer to most community colleges in Michigan. Articulated Credit also allows you to earn college credit but it must be used at a specific college, in this case, the credit must be applied at Lansing Community College. Most of the Eaton RESA Career Preparation Center programs offer Direct College Credit. However, we have two programs that only offer Articulated College Credit --- Heavy Equipment Operator and Repair at AIS.
 


 

How is Direct Credit Awarded to the Student?  

Direct credit is awarded to a student who: a) meets the performance objectives for a specific college course; b) obtains the required Accuplacer level prerequisite for the course(s), c) passes the college course final examinations, if one is required. These credits are shown as numerical grades on the student’s college transcript.

Why is this important for you to know?  

Articulated and direct credits allow high school students to earn college credits while they are still enrolled in high school. You can save time and money right now.

What does this all mean? You're getting a jump start on college by having the chance to earn college credits BEFORE you graduate high school.
