Van Dyke Trial Update

10/5/2018

0 Comments

 

Dear Patrick Henry Parents and Families,


As the trial of Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke nears completion, we will take every appropriate precaution to ensure the safety of our entire school community. Your child’s safety is our top priority and the city has a multi-agency interdisciplinary plan in place to ensure that Chicagoans can express themselves peacefully about the verdict.

We have also been working with the Office of Safety and Security to review our school’s safety plans should we need to utilize them.


We also expect that students will want to discuss the issues connected to the trial. We value student voice and believe that it is important for students to have opportunities to share their perspectives and engage in meaningful inquiry with their peers. Our educators hold a special position in the classroom and will create a safe space for students to consider, analyze, and discuss the trial. They will ensure that sensitive issues and different points of view are handled with a high level of professionalism and thoughtfulness to support students through the discussion.

I recognize that you may have questions or concerns about how we plan to discuss the trial. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.


Sincerely,


Juan Gutierrez




Estimados Patrick Henry Padres y Familias,

A medida que se acerca el juicio del oficial de policía de Chicago Jason Van Dyke, tomaremos todas las precauciones adecuadas para garantizar la seguridad de toda nuestra comunidad escolar. La seguridad de su hijo es nuestra máxima prioridad y la ciudad cuenta con un plan interdisciplinario de múltiples agencias para garantizar que los residentes de Chicago puedan expresarse pacíficamente sobre el veredicto.

También hemos estado trabajando con la Oficina de Seguridad y Protección para revisar los planes de seguridad de nuestra escuela en caso de que necesitemos utilizarlos.

También esperamos que los estudiantes quieran discutir los problemas relacionados con la prueba. Valoramos la voz de los estudiantes y creemos que es importante que los estudiantes tengan la oportunidad de compartir sus perspectivas y participar en una conversación significativa con sus compañeros. Nuestros educadores ocupan un puesto especial en el aula y crearán un espacio seguro para que los estudiantes consideren, analicen y discutan la prueba. Se asegurarán de que los temas delicados y los diferentes puntos de vista se manejen con un alto nivel de profesionalismo y consideración para apoyar a los estudiantes a través de la discusión.

Reconozco que puede tener preguntas o inquietudes sobre cómo planeamos discutir el juicio. Por favor, no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo si tiene alguna pregunta.
Sinceramente,  


Juan Gutierrez
