St. Vrain reaffirms our unwavering commitment to the human rights, respect, and safety of each and every person

Dear St. Vrain Valley Students and Families,

 

Yesterday, it was brought to my attention that a disturbing and disgusting social media post depicting the re-enactment of the murder of George Floyd was made by a group of students from Mead High School. We in the St. Vrain Valley Schools strongly condemn, and have no tolerance for, racism in any form and will be addressing this extremely serious matter immediately and accordingly. Our district reaffirms its commitment to diversity and equality in our schools and in our operations. 

 

There are many important issues facing our society today, however, our highest priority will always be the physical and emotional well-being, respect, and safety of every student, teacher, staff member, and community member in St. Vrain. We remain deeply committed to advancing the success of our students, and I want to reinforce my unwavering commitment to continue taking the necessary actions as the Superintendent of St. Vrain Valley Schools to ensure the human rights, respect, and safety of each and every person. 

 

Racism can have a deep and lasting impact. If you or your student need additional support, please contact your school counseling office. Thank you for your ongoing and continued support, and please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Sincerely,

Don Haddad, Ed.D.

Superintendent

 


Estimados estudiantes y familias de St. Vrain Valley,

En las escuelas de St. Vrain Valley condenamos enérgicamente y no toleramos en ninguna forma el racismo y abordaremos este asunto extremadamente grave de inmediato y en consecuencia. Nuestro distrito reafirma su compromiso con la diversidad e igualdad en nuestras escuelas y en nuestras operaciones. 

 

Hay muchos problemas importantes que enfrenta nuestra sociedad hoy, sin embargo, nuestra máxima prioridad siempre será el bienestar físico y emocional, el respeto y la seguridad de cada estudiante, maestro, miembro del personal y miembro de la comunidad en St. Vrain. Seguimos profundamente comprometidos con el avance del éxito de nuestros estudiantes, y quiero reforzar mi compromiso inquebrantable de continuar tomando las acciones necesarios cómo Superintendente de las Escuelas de St. Vrain Valley para garantizar los derechos humanos, el respeto y la seguridad de todas y cada una de las personas. 

El racimos puede tener un impacto profundo y duradero. Si usted o su estudiante necesita apoyo adicional, comuníquese con la oficina de consejería de su escuela. Gracias por su apoyo continuo y por favor comuniquese conmigo si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud.
