A safety message for school visitors, volunteers, and staff

Some Oregon Trail School District parking lots have recently been targeted with vehicle smash and grab break-ins. It is unsettling that this is happening at our schools, so we want to encourage everyone who uses our parking lots to follow these guidelines to protect yourself and your valuables from predators.

  • Lock your doors and close your windows-even for quick stops. Many thefts are simple "crimes of opportunity", such as an unlocked door.
  • Don't leave cell phones, sunglasses, bags or other personal property sitting on the seat or floor of your car. If spotted by a thief, a smash and grab can occur in less than 15 seconds.
  • Covering items with a blanket or jacket isn't a great idea because it might make a thief think you are hiding something expensive.
  • Make use of closed compartments in your car, such as the trunk and glove box. In SUVs and hatchbacks, there may be hidden compartments in the floor in the back, or covers you can attach to the cargo area so thieves can't see what you're storing.
  • Consider installing a car alarm.

Be aware of your surroundings. If you happen to see someone suspicious, please do not confront them alone. Call 911 and only 911 if you see someone suspicious or a crime in progress.

Oregon Trail teachers are highly qualified

100% of Oregon Trail's core academic classes are taught by highly-qualified teachers, as defined by the federal Early Secondary Education Act (formerly No Child Left Behind Act). Highly qualified teachers must be fully licensed by the state, hold at least a bachelor's degree, and meet state requirements to demonstrate mastery of subject knowledge.
