Professional school personnel are required by Washington state law (RCW 26.44.040), when they have "reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered child abuse or neglect, that he/she shall report such incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency or to the Department of Social and Health Services." The law also states, "Any other person who has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered child abuse or neglect may report such incident to the proper law enforcement agency or to the Department of Social and Health Services."

To report child abuse and neglect, call Child Protective Services at 993-7901 or call 9-1-1 when appropriate. All verbal reports will be followed up by submitting a written report within 48 hours to the building principal.
