School Safety & Security
Reporting safety Concerns
If you are a student or a parent/legal guardian with a safety concern, report it to a school principal as soon as possible.
Kennewick School District offers students, families and community members the ability to submit safety concerns by phone, email and text message, as well as through a form on the district website. Reports of harassment, intimidation, bullying and cyber-bullying may also be submitted online.
Programs & Prevention

When students are physically and emotionally safe, they are better able to learn and achieve at high levels.
