A Message to Team Members, Students, and Our Community

February 2, 2026

A Message to Team Members, Students, and Our Community

We are aware of recent national events and local social media activity encouraging student walkouts. On Friday, a group of students left class in response to these calls. Because of time constraints, our immediate priority was ensuring student safety and preventing escalation. While we respect the First Amendment rights of students and staff, our responsibility is to maintain a safe, orderly learning environment for everyone.

Moving forward, school will operate on a normal schedule.

Students are expected to remain in class and follow their regular routines. As is often the case, students who leave campus or skip class without permission may receive disciplinary consequences and lose instructional credit as outlined in our Code of Conduct. Parents will be notified as soon as possible, and out-of-school suspensions may be used when necessary.
Team members are expected to remain at their assigned duty stations, focused on providing instruction, supervision, and support.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation as we work to keep our campuses safe, orderly, and focused on teaching and learning. We are fortunate to live in a country where differing opinions are protected; that freedom also requires responsible actions that do not disrupt the rights or safety of others.

Will Schofield, Superintendent

Mensaje para los miembros de facultad, los estudiantes y nuestra comunidad

Estamos al tanto de los recientes acontecimientos nacionales y la actividad en las redes sociales locales que incitan a los estudiantes a abandonar las clases. El viernes, un grupo de estudiantes abandonó las aulas en respuesta a estos llamados. Debido a la falta de tiempo, nuestra prioridad inmediata fue garantizar la seguridad de los estudiantes y evitar que la situación empeorara. Si bien respetamos los derechos de la Primera Enmienda de los estudiantes y el personal, nuestra responsabilidad es mantener un entorno de aprendizaje seguro y ordenado para todos.

De aqui en adelante, la escuela funcionará con horario normal.

Se espera que los estudiantes permanezcan en clase y sigan sus rutinas habituales. Como suele ocurrir, los estudiantes que abandonen las instalaciones escolares o falten a clase sin permiso podrán enfrentar consecuencias disciplinarias y perder créditos académicos, según lo estipulado en nuestro Código de Conducta. Se notificará a los padres lo antes posible, y se podrán aplicar suspensiones escolares cuando sea necesario.

Se espera que los miembros de facultad permanezcan en sus puestos de trabajo asignados, concentrados en brindar instrucción, supervisión y apoyo.

Agradecemos la cooperación de todos mientras trabajamos para mantener nuestras instalaciones escolares seguros, ordenados y centrados en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. Tenemos la suerte de vivir en un país donde se protegen las diferentes opiniones; esa libertad también exige acciones responsables que no atenten contra los derechos ni la seguridad de los demás.

Will Schofield, Superintendente
