Monday, October 25th, all DC students will participate in bus evacuations. This simply means that each student will board a DVUSD school bus, be informed what they are to do in case they are on a bus that needs to be evacuated, exit the bus and return to class. Do not be alarmed if you happen to see or hear about this safety procedure.
Tik Tok Trend Involving Theft & Vandalism
A recent topic trending on TikTok is called “Devious Licks” where students commit vandalism or theft on school property and show off what they’ve taken in their own social media posts. Unfortunately, this trend has made its way to our school.
We ask that our DC families speak to their children about social media, current trends taking place, and how these temporary fads can ultimately impact their future. We want nothing more than our students and staff to take pride in their campus and respect the property.
Please know that damage and/or theft may be reported to local law enforcement and will result in disciplinary action and restitution.
Thank you for your support.
