Nooksack Valley School District is committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for our students, staff, families and community. We want all members of our learning community to feel physically, emotionally and academically safe at school. In order to achieve this, we are implementing the I Love U Guys Foundation Standard Response Protocol and Reunification Process.

Physical Safety

Standard Response Protocol

Nooksack Valley School District, along with all school districts in the county, are implementing Standard Response Protocol (SRP). A benefit of Standard Response Protocol is creating a uniform class and school response to an incident. Whether the incident is weather related, a fire, accident, intruder or other student safety scenario, students and staff will be trained and ready to respond appropriately.

SRP is not based on one individual scenario but on the response to any given scenario. It uses the same standard language all first responders use. The protocol allows for a predictable series of actions as an unpredictable event unfolds.

Emotional Safety

Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying

Nooksack Valley School District is committed to a safe educational environment for all students that is free from harassment, intimidation or bullying. In order to ensure respect and prevent harm, it is a violation of Policy 3207 for a student to be harassed, intimidated, or bullied by others in the school community, at school sponsored events, or when such actions create a substantial disruption to the educational process. Prohibition of Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying Regulation is explained in procedure 3207P.

Anyone who believes that harassment, intimidation or bullying has occurred should report the behavior to a teacher, counselor, school nurse or school administrator. To report unresolved, severe or persistent harassment, you can:

• Contact the administrator at the targeted student’s school.
• Contact the District Office at 360-988-4754.
• Use the Vector Alert (safeschoolsalert.com) by text, or by phone.
• Print and complete the  HIB reporting form (see below).
