Dear Komensky families:
Violent school events shake us to our core—and reinforce the need for our shared commitment to creating responsive, safe, and welcoming learning environments. It is vital that every child and family—regardless of background, creed, or identity—always feels seen, heard, supported, and valued as a part of our community.
Our Ongoing Commitment to Safety and Belonging
Vigilance and Reporting: We rely on our entire community—staff, students, families, and neighbors—to remain alert and proactive. Please continue to report any suspicious or threatening behavior, comments, or activity without delay. Even minor concerns can help prevent something far worse.
Enhanced Safety and Security Protocols:
Our safety cameras are monitored constantly throughout our school to ensure a rapid response in the event of a threat.
All arrivals are carefully vetted: individuals must identify themselves as recognized members of our community before gaining entry.
We utilize the Raptor system to screen all visitors and volunteers, ensuring a secure and verified environment.
Recent additions to our infrastructure include newly installed exterior doors designed for improved security controls.
All learning spaces are locked during use, fostering a safe classroom environment where students can focus and thrive.
Our unity is more important than ever. Let us come together to support one another—students, staff, and families—fostering resilience and compassion within our community. If you have any questions, please call me at 708.795.2342 or email me at lvaladez@bsd100.org. It is my pleasure to serve you!
Estimadas familias de Komensky:
Los eventos escolares violentos nos conmueven profundamente y refuerzan la necesidad de nuestro compromiso compartido para crear entornos de aprendizaje receptivos, seguros y acogedores. Es vital que cada niño y familia, independientemente de su origen, credo o identidad, se sientan siempre vistos, escuchados, apoyados y valorados como parte de nuestra comunidad.
Nuestro compromiso continuo con la seguridad y el sentido de pertenencia
Vigilancia y denuncia: Confiamos en que toda nuestra comunidad (personal, estudiantes, familias y vecinos) se mantenga alerta y proactiva. Por favor, continúen denunciando cualquier comportamiento, comentario o actividad sospechosa o amenazante sin demora. Incluso las pequeñas inquietudes pueden ayudar a prevenir algo mucho peor.
Protocolos de seguridad mejorados
Utilizamos el sistema Raptor para evaluar a todos los visitantes y voluntarios, garantizando un entorno seguro y verificado. Las recientes incorporaciones a nuestra infraestructura incluyen puertas exteriores recién instaladas, diseñadas para mejorar los controles de seguridad.
Nuestra unidad es más importante que nunca. Unámonos para apoyarnos mutuamente —estudiantes, personal y familias—, fomentando la resiliencia y la compasión en nuestra comunidad. Si tiene alguna pregunta por favor comuníquese conmigo al 708.795.2342 o envíeme un correo electrónico a lvaladez@bsd100.org. Es un placer poder servirles.
