| | | Our hearts go out to all those impacted by the tragic loss of life in Connecticut. For guidance in helping your student cope with the news, a number of resources are available online. For example, for tips on how to talk to children about violence, click here. For help with coping with school violence, click here. The Ninth District PTA recommends the following link to the Fred Rogers website 'helping children cope with scary news.'
The incident has caused our nation, and our own school communities to reflect on safety practices. All District schools have Safe School Plans in place that include emergency procedures, and require regularly scheduled drills for crises such as earthquakes, fires, and lockdowns. These plans were developed with the input of school staff, parents, and law enforcement and are continuously refined. Please feel free to discuss these plans with your site administrators.
Our District has a strong partnership in place with the Chula Vista Police Department, which supports our District through a variety of resources that include the assignment of School Resource Officers. District schools are also closed campuses where visitors must sign in at the front office.
Our District is supported by a network of Family Resource Centers. If you or someone you know is in need of mental health services, please reach out for assistance.

Por ejemplo, para consejos sobre cómo hablar con los niños acerca de la violencia, haga click aquí. Para consejos sobre cómo hablar con los niños sobre la violencia en las escuelas visite este sitio en inglés. Además, el Distrito Noveno de la Asociación de Padres y Maestros (PTA) recomienda el siguiente enlace a la página web de Fred Rogers (en inglés), o para español puede consultar este enlace.
Lo ocurrido en Connecticut ha dado pie a que nuestra nación y nuestras propias comunidades escolares reflexionemos sobre nuestras prácticas de seguridad. Todas las escuelas del Distrito tienen planes de seguridad escolar que incluyen procedimientos de emergencia y requieren que periódicamente se realicen simulacros para casos de desastres como terremotos, incendios y cierres forzosos. Los planes de seguridad fueron desarrollados con la participación del personal, los padres de familia y la policía, y se refinan continuamente. Para cualquier pregunta sobre estos planes, no dude en comunicarse con el director o la directora de su escuela.
Nuestro Distrito trabaja estrechamente con el Departamento de Policía de Chula Vista, quien apoya a nuestro Distrito a través de una variedad de recursos que incluyen oficiales asignados a las escuelas. Las escuelas del Distrito también son planteles cerrados donde los visitantes deben registrarse en la oficina escolar.
Nuestro Distrito también cuenta con el apoyo de los centros de recursos familiares. Si usted o alguien que usted conoce necesitan servicios de salud mental, por favor pida ayuda. | No | News | No | 1 |
