The district has the CareLine - a reporting system available on each school website. Reports can be made by any member of the school community 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.

Who to Contact

Any issues or concerns are best resolved first at the classroom level. However, there are times when a resolution cannot be reached at the classroom level, and a parent, caregiver, or community member may need additional support from the school or even District administration. You can access contact information and who to ask for help at any time additional support is needed (please note that the information is current for the 23-24 school year, and will be updated for the start of the 24-25 school year).
Families with district-level or general questions shoudl feel free to reach out to one of our district departments.
E-Bike and Scooter Safety
With the rise in the popularity of e-bikes and scooters as a means of transportation to and from school, it is important that both students and families have the necessary information to follow the law and stay safe.
Check out these important resources:
- Scooter and E-bike Safety Video with Danville Police Chief, Allan Shields and Diablo Vista Middle School Principal, Jeff Osborn.
- Street Smarts resources - the traffic safety education program for the San Ramon Valley
Since they can travel at higher speeds than traditional bikes, e-bikes and scooters require extra caution and riders must follow the law and rules of the road, for instance,all riders under the age of 18 are required to wear a helmet by California law. In addition to helmets, riders must obey traffic signals, stop signs, and other road regulations just as they would when driving a car. View our summary chart for information about bikes, e-bikes, and scooters.

The district uses AirNow.gov to measure air quality. Decisions about Air Quality levels and school activities in SRVUSD are normalized on an Air Quality Guidelines Chart that is provided to every school site. Learn more on the Air Quality Information webpage.
When there is excessive heat on a school day, school administrators follow guidance for when outdoor activity should be minimized based on the heat index. All guidance, tips and other resources are available on the Heat Advisory Guidance webpage.
