SafeOregon

North Marion School District recognizes that creating a safe learning environment is a critical part of helping each child achieve academic success.  Our District signed up with the Safe Oregon Tip Line. We would like to share information regarding this additional resource for students, parents, and our communities to report safety threats or potential acts of violence to school administration. 

How does the Safe Oregon Tip Line Work? 

Students can access the Safe Oregon system through a link on our District’s website or they may go directly to the safeoregon.com website. Tips can be submitted through the web form on the Safe Oregon website or by text, email, live call, or mobile app.  Around the country, research shows that the number one reason why students do not report is the fear of retaliation from their peers. Again, the Safe Oregon Tip Line can be accessed from the privacy of a phone, home computer, or other internet equipped device, eliminating the possibility of being identified by another student and thus, decreasing the likelihood that a school safety threat would go unreported. I encourage you to learn more about the Safe Oregon Tip Line by visiting the Safe Oregon website at safeoregon.com.

Another outstanding resource is The National Association of School Psychologists.  The NASP has information on their website for parents related to school safety, violence prevention, children’s trauma reactions, and crisis response at nasponline.org. 

The North Marion School District, School Board, Safety Committee, and Community Partners have worked diligently to implement processes, create infrastructure, and put plans in place to help safeguard our students.
