The Sutherlin School District invites parents and caregivers to attend our school safety information night.
-Learn how the Standard Response Protocol works in our schools—so terms like Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter feel clear, calm, and familiar.
-Understand what families can expect during a safety incident, including district communication, and how decisions are made to protect students.
-Gain confidence in reunification procedures.
-Ask questions, offer feedback, and help us strengthen student-centered safety systems that reflect community needs and values.
-Build partnership—because when schools, families, and first responders share language, expectations, and relationships, students are safer and better supported.

Where: Sutherlin High School Activity Center
Time: 6:00-7:00 PM
