As schools have returned from the holiday break, now is a good opportunity to review the Oregon Trail School District's safety and security measures. The district maintains a comprehensive all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan in collaboration with local police and fire agencies and emergency response training is an ongoing process across the district.
​Other steps the district has taken ​include:

• Schools routinely have safety drills, including for fires and earthquakes (see photo above).
• The district utilizes Speak Up For Safety, a tip line that allows students to easy and confidentially report threats and other imminent concerns via email or text.
• Students and staff receive training in Run, Hide, Fight to learn to take action when there is a threat to safety at their school. Parents can learn more about talking to their students about Run, Hide, Fight.
• "Say Something" teaches students and teachers to look for warning signs, act immediately and say something to a trusted adult.
• All visitors must enter through their school's main entrance vestibule and be cleared by staff before entering the school.
