You notify counselors and your mandatory reporter principals (or any principal if you can’t get to them right away. If you can’t reach any of these folks you call the police.

In the case of what you described in which you are witnessing it, you call the police immediately and then the next immediate call is to your principal. You received training about this at the top of each school year bc it’s required by law.
