Clemente Family Update 11/19/2021
|
|
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority, which is why I am reaching out to you about an incident that occurred at school today. This afternoon, there was a physical altercation between students inside of our school building. Clemente staff immediately intervened to ensure the safety of all members of our community. The school issued a robocall to notify parents that we would be using a modified staggered dismissal process this afternoon.
|
While the initial incident was small, many students did leave their classrooms to try to witness the situation and the school then went on a lockdown. We immediately notified the CPS Office of Safety and Security and the Chicago Police Department (CPD) about the incidents, and CPD arrived quickly to provide additional safety supports to our community. We are handling these incidents in accordance with CPS policy, and the parents of all impacted students have been contacted.
|
We want to emphasize that incidents like these do not meet the expectations of the positive culture and climate that we have built at Clemente. Many students may have witnessed this altercation, and we will have additional crisis supports at our school on Monday to support students who were impacted by this incident.
|
Our entire school team is looking forward to working with all of you to ensure that our school community is the safe and supportive environment that our students deserve.
