Emergency Situations: Schools or the district may use the rapid notification system to com- municate to parents and emergency contact persons about urgent situations. Messages are not automatic or instantaneous, as the school must have time to send a message with clear and confirmed information. However, once sent, messages will reach recipients very quickly. Emergency-related information may also be posted on the district’s website, www.4j.lane.edu, or on the district’s Facebook page or Twitter account.

Please do not go to the school or call the school office during emergency situations. Staf will be focused on student safety and will not be able to assist you or answer the phone. Additionally, overwhelming incoming calls can disrupt the phone system and make internal communication difficult.

Second Parent Notification: Ordinarily, both custodial and non-custodial parents have the right to receive school information about their children and to examine their children’s student records unless there is a court order specifying that access to records is limited. Non-custodial and co-custodial parents’ contact information may be included in student records for emergency notification purposes.

The Eugene School District also is able to provide such parents a duplicate copy of labeled mailings, such as grade reports. Other items that may be sent home by means other than direct mail are not included. Please let the school office know if you would like the name of a co- custodial or non-custodial parent to be added to the student’s enrollment information.
