Security & Safety
Student Safety Is Our Priority
In the Chehalis School District, we take safety seriously. Whether it’s crossing guards helping them get safely to school or staff undergoing training to be prepared in the case of an emergency, the social, emotional and physical safety of our students is a priority for all staff. Our safety initiatives are led by Security & Safety Officers Todd Thornburg and Troy Thornburg.

How Can Families Help?
- Make sure your family contact information is up to date in Skyward so we can reach you in an emergency. ParentSquare, our primary communication platform, draws contact information from Skyward so no need to change it in two places.
- Report any potential threats. If your student witnesses a threat at school, on school property, on the bus or online, report it to our Security & Safety Officers or school administration
- Read more about ALICE Training so you can understand how your student is prepared to stay safe at school
- In the event of an emergency, do not come to the school or attempt to pick your student up early. Wait for official Chehalis School District communications through ParentSquare for instructions. Do not call the schools or district office. We will share information early and often to keep you in the loop.
- Learn about and understand your student’s school’s disciplinary policies and procedures through their Student Handbook:
