Emergencies should always be reported to 911.
Anyone can use the Vector Alert Tip Reporting System to report non-emergency safety matters such as bullying, intimidation, harassment, abuse, assault, weapons or drugs. Reporters can remain anonymous. Please note that the system is monitored only during school business hours.
Report, don't repost! If you see or hear of a possible threat, report it to law enforcement directly and/or to school staff. This is the best and most helpful action because it begins an investigation and helps to limit the potential for misinformation to spread. Reposting or sharing a threat on social media in an attempt to warn others spreads the threat farther from its original source and may cause unnecessary alarm and fear.
Beginning in the 2024-25 school year, Battle Ground Public Schools will join most Southwest Washington school districts in using the Standard Response Protocol for emergencies. This protocol establishes common language so that schools, first responders and the community can communicate clearly and effectively and reduce misunderstandings in emergency situations. The protocol was developed by the “I Love You Guys” Foundation in response to school violence.
