Good evening, DVC Students, Parents, and Guardians,
The Da Vinci High Schools located at the 201 N. Douglas location (including DVC) participated in a Shelter-in-Place Drill today at 1:30pm. Shelter-in-Place drills are designed to educate students and staff and to provide practice opportunities for what to initially do in the event of an on-campus or nearby emergency that requires a lockdown. Our students did very well with the drill, and we are proud of their commitment to safety.
I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all students, parents, and guardians about how to report any concerns regarding student safety. Issues concerning student safety and well-being are always our number one priority. We provide all community members with many ways to contact us regarding any concerns. Students, parents, and guardians are encouraged to report any concerns to school staff as soon as possible using any of the following means:
- Complete the Incident Reporting Form, located on the sidebar of the dvc.davincischools.org webpage
- Call the front office of the school at (310) 725-5800 to report the concern
- Call or text the Principal (Erin D’Souza) at (310) 350-7192
- Call or text the Assistant Principal (Andrew Daramola) at (323) 435-1796

- Complete a written incident report (blank copies at the front office)
