In the Downey Unified School District, Student Safety is our top priority. Therefore, we encourage the Downey community to remain vigilant in working to keep our schools and students safe:
To report suspicious activity in and around our schools or student safety concerns, please click the link below and you will be taken to a standard online form. Provide all the information you know that can help staff members deal with the issue including: where the incident(s) took place; dates; times; names of those involved, as well as the type of behavior being reported. Please include as much detail as possible so that we can assist you.
Types of items to report on our survey are:
• If you feel unsafe or know someone who feels unsafe at school
• Safety
• Threats
• Weapons on campus
• Harassment/intimidation
• Fights
• Drugs
If you want a response, be sure to include contact information. Our SpeakUp! form sends an email to a school administrator with the information submitted through your online form. You will hear back from a staff member if you included your contact information.
If you or someone else are in immediate need or are considering hurting yourself or themselves, please reach out to an immediate resource; such as:
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
(800) 273-8255
Teen Line
(800) 852-8336
If this is an imminent threat, we encourage you to contact 911 or Downey Police Department as well as the site principal immediately. Contact information for schools can be found on the district’s website at: www.dusd.net
