Dear SUHSD Students, Staff, and Families:
Over the past several days, we have witnessed an escalation in tensions and violence in the Middle East, particularly in Israel, and the Gaza Strip. We understand that these events can elicit strong emotions and diverse perspectives within our community.
Sweetwater Union High School District is committed to upholding values of inclusivity, empathy, and respect for all members of our diverse community. It is imperative that we maintain an environment that is safe, welcoming, and supportive for all, regardless of their backgrounds, beliefs, or nationalities. We unequivocally condemn any form of hate, discrimination, or prejudice, including antisemitism, or any other manifestation of discrimination targeted at individuals or groups.
As the violence in the Middle East continues to escalate, we recognize there are growing concerns around safety in our schools and communities. Some media outlets have reported that a former Hamas leader has called for a “Day of Jihad” around the world on Friday, October 13, 2023. There are other reported calls for a day of “general mobilization” and mass demonstrations. Law enforcement is not aware of any calls for action in San Diego County.
The San Diego County Office of Education recently shared and continues to update resources for educators and families to discuss the war in Israel and Gaza with students. These resources are intended to provide access to information, and we encourage you to determine which ones are most appropriate for your student. We will continue to maintain contact with local law enforcement partners, monitor campuses, and share safety updates with you.
Sweetwater Union High School District schools will be open tomorrow, Friday, October 13, 2023, and we are committed to ensuring a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students. In these challenging times, we believe it is our duty to uphold our core values and support all members of our community. Together, we can work toward a more peaceful and inclusive world where understanding and empathy prevail over hatred and division.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our schools and students safe.
Sincerely,
Dr. Moisés G. Aguirre
Superintendent
Estimados estudiantes, personal y familias de SUHSD:
En los últimos días hemos sido testigos de una escalada de las tensiones y violencia en el Medio Oriente, particularmente en Israel y la Franja de Gaza. Entendemos que estos eventos pueden provocar emociones fuertes y perspectivas diversas dentro de nuestra comunidad.
El Distrito Escolar Secundario Sweetwater está comprometido a defender los valores de inclusión, empatía y respeto para todos los miembros de nuestra diversa comunidad. Es importante que mantengamos escuelas seguras y de apoyo para todos, independientemente de sus orígenes, creencias o nacionalidades. Condenamos inequívocamente cualquier forma de odio, discriminación o prejuicio, incluyendo el antisemitismo, o cualquier otra manifestación de discriminación dirigida a individuos o grupos.
A medida que la violencia en el Medio Oriente continúa aumentando, reconocemos que existen crecientes preocupaciones en torno a la seguridad en nuestras escuelas y comunidades. Algunos medios de comunicación han informado que un ex-líder de Hamás convocó a un “Día de Jihad” global el viernes 13 de octubre de 2023. Hay otros llamados a un día de “movilización general” y manifestaciones masivas. Las autoridades de seguridad pública no tienen información de ningún llamado a la acción en el condado de San Diego.
La Oficina de Educación del Condado de San Diego recientemente compartió y continúa actualizando recursos para que los educadores y las familias dialoguen sobre la guerra en Israel y Gaza con los estudiantes. Estos recursos están destinados a brindar acceso a la información y los alentamos a determinar cuáles son los más apropiados para sus estudiantes. Continuaremos manteniendo contacto con agencias policiales locales y monitoreando a las escuelas y compartiremos actualizaciones de seguridad con ustedes.
Las escuelas del Distrito Escolar Secundario Sweetwater estarán abiertas mañana, viernes 13 de octubre de 2023, y estamos comprometidos a garantizar un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro y positivo para nuestros estudiantes.
En estos tiempos difíciles, creemos que es nuestro deber defender nuestros valores fundamentales y apoyar a todos los miembros de nuestra comunidad. Juntos podemos trabajar por un mundo más pacífico e inclusivo donde la comprensión y la empatía prevalezcan sobre el odio y la división.
Gracias por ayudarnos a mantener seguras nuestras escuelas y apoyar a nuestros estudiantes.
Atentamente,
Dr. Moisés G. Aguirre
Superintendente
