Dear Dahlia Families,

October is National Bullying Prevention Month and we are kicking off a school wide effort to make sure every student feels safe, included and respected. Our students will participate in activities focused on kindness, empathy, and learning how to safely stand up for one another. We encourage you to talk with your child at home about the power of their words and actions. Together as a community, we can build a culture where bullying has no place. 

Dove Love,

Dove Events For the Week of September 28 - October 02, 2026

Announcement:  Parent and Guardians, every effort is being made to mitigate the increase of mosquito activity that is happening on our campus and the surrounding Los Angeles area.   School staff has been vigilant to empty any water containers or areas of water collection around our campus. Although we are trying our best to eliminate pockets of high mosquito activity, it is a problem that our whole county is facing.  A few things that may help:   have your child wear loose but long sleeve, long pants clothing, apply repellent at home if able to, and or have student wear deet free mosquito repellent patches on clothing, away from face, i.e. on the backs of their clothing.  We continue to follow district protocol to make sure that our students and staff are able to feel as comfortable as possible.    Thank you for your understanding.

Greeting Parents and Caregivers,

I’m writing to inform you of an important message about Los Angeles Unified’s Unified Against Hate campaign.  

The Unified Against Hate campaign is a call to our entire school community of students, employees, and families, to promote kindness, respect, and inclusion. There is no place for hate, bias, and bullying in our schools. I believe meaningful change starts with open, honest conversations both at home and at school. 

I encourage you to speak with your child about the importance of standing up for themselves and others, and of embracing differences that make our community stronger. 

Together we have the opportunity to raise a generation that chooses unity over division and stands firmly against hate. 

Thank you for your partnership in creating safe and welcoming schools for all.

Dove Love,

Ms. Jasso

Required Drill Frequencies

The safety of our students is our top priority. Following LAUSD policies, Dahlia Heights holds four or five types of safety drills throughout the school year, two or three each month:

• Drop Drill, also called Drop, Cover, & Hold Drill: (once per month) Students practice safety measures to prevent harm during an earthquake. Students protect their heads, take cover under desks and tables, and move away from windows and glass.

• Fire Drill: (once per month) Students learn to evacuate classrooms safely in the event of a fire.

• Lockdown Drill: (once per semester) Students move to the safety of a classroom or closest building when there is imminent danger either on campus or in the neighborhood, such as from a loose animal, community incident, or police action.

• Shelter-in-Place Drill: (oral review once per semester) Similar to a Lock Down Dril. Used when there is an environmental threat, such as a chemical spill, fire, or insect swarm in the area.

• ShakeOut Drill: Students evacuate to the P.E. field, simulating an earthquake event. This drill is held on or near the date of the annual Great California Shakeout. In the event of an actual earthquake or on-site emergency, parents will pick up students at the Reunion Gate. 

These types of emergencies are unlikely to occur, but Dahlia Heights is determined to be prepared!
