Walking & Biking Safety
CSD 509J encourages safe walking and biking to school. Many of our schools participate in Safe Routes to School programs. Talk with your child about safe pedestrian and bicycle practices, including using crosswalks, wearing helmets, and following traffic signals. Contact your school for information about designated walk and bike routes in your neighborhood.
School Safety
Keeping our students and staff safe is our highest priority
Corvallis School District maintains comprehensive safety plans at every school. Our staff regularly trains on emergency procedures, and we coordinate closely with local law enforcement and emergency responders to ensure the safety of our school communities.
Emergency Procedures
Each school has detailed plans for a range of emergency scenarios, including fire, earthquake, lockdown, and severe weather. Schools conduct regular drills throughout the year so students and staff are prepared. In the event of an emergency, families will be notified through our mass communication system by phone, email, and text.
Reunification Procedures
If an emergency requires students to be relocated, CSD 509J follows established reunification procedures. Parents and guardians will be directed to a designated reunification site where they can pick up their children. Bring a valid photo ID. Details are shared at the beginning of each school year and during emergencies.
School Safety Plans
Every CSD 509J school has a site-specific safety plan developed in coordination with the district's Safety & Risk Management department and local emergency services. These plans are reviewed and updated annually. If you have questions about your school's safety procedures, contact your school's main office or the district's Safety & Risk Management department.

If you have concerns about your child's learning or development, contact your child's teacher or school to request an evaluation. The district's Student Growth & Experience department oversees all special education services.
