School Safety

Keeping students and staff safe is our top priority.

One of our strategic goals is to "provide safe and innovative learning environments." The District and its schools plan and practice safety and emergency preparation, response and recovery. These efforts involve staff, students and parents, as well as local fire departments and law enforcement. We have annual earthquake drills as well as evacuation and lockdown drills. Please refer to our district web page for further school safety information.

It is always a good idea to be vigilant while out and about; visiting a school should be no exception. Just a reminder that if you park at our schools, always lock your door and put your valuables away; just like when you visit your local store. You are also encouraged to help report something suspicious if you come across a situation that doesn’t look right. You can call the LWSD Resource Center (425-936-1200) notify the school's front office staff or alert any school staff member and let them know the situation. The school district also provides a safety alert system which can be reached here: https://lwsd-wa.safeschoolsalert.com/.
