Ephrata Area School District wants to assure parents and guardians of our dedication to the safety of students.  The District will always take any type of threat seriously. The District and local police departments work together in full cooperation. The Threat Assessment Team is a group of school staff that work together through a process to assess and intervene with students whose behaviors may indicate a threat to the safety of themselves and/or others. 

The District is made aware of potential concerns/threats through multiple methods. Our Safety/ Security Reporting Systems include:

1. Students, parents/guardians, staff, and community members are encouraged to report concerning information to building principals or school counselors.

2. Anonymous tips to Tip 411 or SafeSchools@easdpa.org
