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!

We
want to review the procedure all students should be following when feeling ill at
school. Please ask your teacher for a
pass. We will take your temperature and
allow you to rest. If the student needs
to go home, we ask that a parent show ID and sign you out. All students NEED A PASS EVEN DURING PASSING.
Please
do not TEXT parents from class. If
parents will be sending someone to pick you up, PARENTS need to let the office
know if they are sending someone to pick you up. Thank YOU
Library
update! Hello everyone! Until the library is re-opened, the show must
go on. If you have any books to renew or have any fines to resolve,
please visit the career center where Ms. Howden and Ms. Ford are available to

your books are still in effect. If you are simply returning a book, the
blue return box by the library doors is still an option and is emptied
