OTSD has launched a new Speak Up for Safety tipline
Oregon Trail Families, Oregon Trail School District has partnered with school safety company Gaggle to launch a new SpeakUp for Safety tipline that will allow students to easily and confidentially report threats of violence, bullying, peers in crisis, and other imminent concerns that affect students’ well-being and security. This tipline replaces our previous SafeSchools Report It tipline. The SpeakUp for Safety tipline will be continually monitored by Gaggle safety professionals, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long. Non-life-threatening tips will be quickly routed to designated school or district staff members, and in severe situations, district-appointed contacts will be immediately notified to take action. In the most urgent cases in which a student is in immediate danger and Gaggle is unable to notify a district-appointed contact, Gaggle will alert law enforcement to intervene. The Gaggle SpeakUp for Safety tipline integrates directly with Google Workspace for Education, which students already access on a daily basis. There’s no need for students to download a mobile app or remember a phone number—the SpeakUp for Safety instant replies include a phone number that students can use for text messages or phone calls. The Speak Up for Safety tipline may be accessed by calling or texting 971-529-0292, or by emailing SpeakUp@stu.ortrail.k12.or.us. The contact information is also on our website at oregontrailschools.com .

All OTSD schools are open Monday
Power is back on for many people in our community, and PGE’s restoration efforts are continuing with the goal of safely restoring power by 11:00 tonight. The PGE Resource Centers at Welches and Firwood Schools will remain open on Monday for those few families still experiencing the power outage. FIRWOOD FAMILIES: If you typically drop your child off at school, be aware that there may still be a freezer trailer parked in a parent drop-off lane. You will be able to navigate around it. We appreciate your patience. On this national day of remembrance, we want to thank those around us who work diligently and tirelessly to keep us safe and serve our country.

Schools closed due to PGE power shut-off
Due to the expected extreme weather event and PGE’s likely power shut-off, all Oregon Trail schools will be closed tomorrow. With hundreds of our students, and a large percentage of our employees across the district expected to lose power, we want to make sure our families have time to plan accordingly. In the event of a prolonged shut-off, PGE will establish a Resource Center at the Welches School campus. The Resource Center will provide bottled water, a charging station for personal electronic devices, and Wi-Fi access. A time frame for re-energizing the power lines is unpredictable and could take anywhere from several hours to a number of days. We will provide an update to families by Sunday afternoon. For more information on the process PGE uses to protect its customers, please follow this link: https://portlandgeneral.com/outages-safety/wildfire-outages
