Student Safety ~From the Corral   Damonte Ranch High School is committed to school safety.  If your student hears about a possible threat or impending school incident, please have them immediately report it to school administration to ensure school staff is aware of it.  Please tell your student to refrain from posting the information on social media, as this creates rumors and panic.  Remember, your student’s responsible actions can help keep students safe and they can remain anonymous.    The WCSD provides video surveillance on school campus’ as well as on each school bus to help keep students safe.          Schools are required to practice a monthly emergency drill.  The best way for students to help during an emergency is to be where they are expected to be and follow the emergency procedures they practice.  Monthly, DRHS practices one of the following drills:   ·         Fire Evacuation Drills teach students how to appropriately evacuate the building and where to report to. ·         A Code Yellow, securing perimeter doors, is utilized to prevent the occurrence of a major incident when conditions indicate a higher than normal threat level is present NEAR campus. ·         A Code Red lockdown is utilized when an actual crisis situation or impending threat has occurred on school campus (or across the street/near campus). ·         A Code Blue is utilized for a medical emergency.  A trained Code Blue team responds to medical emergencies. Students have already practiced a fire drill, earthquake drill, code red drill and a code blue drill this school year.  Safety is always our primary concern!

Kids in Africa need your help –

And it’s as easy as cleaning out your closet!

Children in many African countries cannot attend school if they don’t have close toed shoes to wear. 

This means the poorest of the poor can’t get an education.

JAG Damonte is partnering with Think Kindness to collect as many shoes as possible to take to kids in Africa. 

Please take a look in your closet for gently used closed toed shoes and bring them to your IC before Friday, May 10^th.

Any size will do.

We will have collection bags in every IC and the IC class that collects the most pairs of shoes will win a Pizza Party compliments of JAG Damonte!
