Report an Incident or a Safety Concern

Hood River School District encourages you to use our statewide school safety reporting system. To submit an incident or safety tip, just use one of the reporting options below (if you are reporting an emergency, please call 911). All tips go immediately to a tip line technician 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.  Tips are promptly analyzed and forwarded to designated personnel who can provide further assistance in resolving reported incidents.

TIPS CAN BE SUBMITTED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS

How does the Safe Oregon Tip Line work?

Students, parents, and community members can access teh Safe Oregon system through a link on our school web site or they may go directly to the safeoregon.com web site.  Tips can be submitted through the web form on the Safe ORegon web site, or by text, email, live call and mobile app.

 

Why is there a need for a tip line system?

The number one reason why children do not report is the fear of retaliation from their peers.  The Safe Oregon Tip Line can be accessed from teh privacy of a phone, home compter or other Internet equipped device, eliminating the possiblity of being identified by another student and thus, increasing the likelihood that a school safety threat would go unreported.

 

What is Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying?

Harassment, intimidation and bullying are defined as any intentionally written message or image - including those that are electronically transmitted - verbal, or physical act, including but not limited to one shown to be motivated by race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, including gender expressionor identity, mental or physical disability or other distinguishing characteristics, when an act:

• Physically harms a student or damages the student's property.
• Has the effect of substantially interferring with a student's education.
• Is so severe, persistent or pervasive tht it creates an intimidating or threatening educational environment.
• Has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.

Bullying is repeated negative behavior toward a less powerful person or persons. Hitting, name-calling, shunning, and shaming are all forms of bullying.  Spreading rumors, gossiping and making threats are also forms of bullying.   

 

Does the District have policy on addressing these issues?

The Hood River County School District Board of Directors has adopted Policy JFCF - "Hazing/Harassment/Intimidation/Menacing/Bullying/Cyberbullying/Teen Dating Violence - Student" to clearly state expectations, reporting requirements, and student education requirements to keep our kids safe.
