School Safety
Student and staff safety is a top priority in SRVUSD. Each school site has a plan with specified roles and responsibilities for handling various types of emergencies.
To report incidents related to bullying, threats, reports of hate and discrimination, or other situations that may pose a danger or bring harm to members of our school community, the District uses CareLine.
A button to access Careline, our anonymous reporting system, is available on each school website. Reports can be made by any member of the school community.

Annual Notifications: Parents Rights and Responsibilities
Each year, SRVUSD and all Local Education Agencies (LEAs) are required to notify parents/guardians of certain information.
Our Annual Notifications are a part of the Annual Update, but they are also available on the Annual Parents' Rights and Responsibilities page of the district website.
E-Bikes and E-Scooters
To maintain safety on our campuses and community, it is imperative that parents and students understand and abide by the laws and age requirements regarding e-bikes and e-scooters.
Please review these critical e-bike and e-scooter safety reminders:
- Know Your Bike: Understand the classification of the e-bike your child rides. High-speed or modified e-bikes are illegal for minors and put children at a high risk for severe injury.
- Parental Citations: Local law enforcement has begun issuing citations for knowingly allowing a juvenile to ride illegally. This includes reckless driving, riding without a license, or operating a bike prohibited for their age.
- E-scooter age requirement: Riders of all e-scooters must be at least 16 years old and have a drivers license or learner’s permit. For this reason, they are not allowed on middle and elementary school campuses.
The Town of Danville’s Not My Kid website contains additional resources, educational videos, and online courses for families.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep students safe.
