State Goals

The Oregon Department of Education is partnering with school districts and local communities to ensure a 90% ontime, four year graduation rate by 2025. To progress toward this goal, the state will prioritize efforts to improve attendance, provide a well-rounded education, invest in implementing culturally responsive practices, and promote continuous improvement to close opportunity and achievement gaps for historically and currently underserved students.

Safe & Welcoming Environment

It is our priority that all RSD students and families feel safe, welcome and included. Our students are entitled to academic success regardless of background or family circumstances, and each student will be provided the necessary support to ensure success. We are committed to sustaining an inclusive and culturally responsive school culture/climate for all students, families and staff. We ensure safe schools through prevention, intervention, behavioral-emotional health and crisis preparedness.

About Our School

BULLYING, HARASSMENT, AND SAFETY POLICIES

RSD considers the safety of children our greatest priority. Everyone is welcome in school and we recognize the diversity and worth of all. We ensure physically and psychologically safe, secure and orderly learning environments. Elementary schools use the Positive Behavior-Intervention Support system to provide proactive instruction and student need-based tiered supports. Full-time counselors provide whole and small group and individual support for bullying prevention. RSD uses SafeOregon to report unsafe behavior and follows all policies outlined in our Rights & Responsibilities Handbook.
