School Safety
The safety of our students and staff is one of our highest priorities. While some equate school safety with the prevention of, and response plans related to, school violence, it is much more comprehensive than a single issue. School safety encompasses:
Exploitation (internet predators and sex trafficking); Internet safety, cyberbullying, and online harassment; Fire, earthquake, and natural hazards; Pesticides, herbicides, cleaning chemicals; Risk management (maintenance, lab safety, trainings, procedures, inspections); Pandemic response; Pedestrian/Bike safety; Drug/alcohol/gang/suicide awareness, education, and prevention; First Aid, CPR, and AED training and preparedness; All-hazard response plans, including incident command system, search and rescue, and reunification; Adverse Childhood Experiences, Character, and Socioemotional Education and more.
Hockinson School District employs the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) to safely and effectively respond to a variety of emergency situations.
SRP: A Standardized Approach to Incident Response
The SRP is a set of uniform, planned, and practiced incident response protocols that help to keep our schools safer. Standardizing the vocabulary that we use during an incident keeps school staff, parents, and emergency responders on the same page. Learn more at the links below:
Each Hockinson school has a safety designee who participates in the district safety committee, responds to building safety issues, and is responsible for schoolwide safety drills. Contact your student's school for more information.
