Al igual que ustedes, estamos estupefactos y entristecidos por la noticia del tiroteo en la escuela primaria Robb Elementary en Texas. Compartimos la angustia que todos estamos sintiendo por las familias que han perdido un ser querido a causa de este acto de violencia irracional.
La escuela debe ser por todos los medios el lugar donde los estudiantes se sientan completamente seguros y protegidos. Nuestro personal se dedicará a garantizar que se pongan en rigor las medidas de seguridad y como una medida de precaución adicional, hemos solicitado a la policía local que, por el resto de la semana, aumente su presencia dentro y en los predios de nuestras escuelas.
Sabemos que los niños y adolescentes procesan este tipo de noticia de varias maneras, los consejeros están disponibles en cada una de nuestras escuelas para ayudar a los estudiantes que puedan necesitar apoyo adicional.
Únase a nosotros para que en los próximos días mantengamos en nuestras mentes a los estudiantes, empleados y familias del Distrito escolar de Uvalde.
Like you, we are shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Texas. We share in the heartbreak we are all feeling for the families who have lost a loved one due to this senseless act of violence.
School should and must be a place where students feel completely safe and secure. Our staff will be diligent in making sure that safety measures are taking place. And as an added precaution, we have asked out local law enforcement to have an increased presence in and around our buildings for the remainder of the week.
We know that children and teens process this news in a variety of ways. Counselors are available at each of our school buildings to assist students who may need some extra support.
Please join us in keeping the students, staff, and families of Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District in our thoughts during the days ahead.

Nomination paragraphs for Teacher of the Year:
Written by Stacy Sauerbrei (High School English/Langauge Arts) about Patrick Mahoney:
No doubt, Patrick Mahoney is the most positive person I have ever been around. Whenever I ask students to write about their favorite teacher, his name is always near the top of the list. (Most of the time, it is on the top.) It’s no wonder, because Mr. Mahoney is dedicated to and passionate about the art of teaching—and all the kids will tell you, “We love Mr. Mahoney.” In addition to being a very talented educator, Patrick Mahoney is constantly looking for new platforms to connect with young people: he has coached, he is an advisor, he works with credit recovery at the Learning Center, and he is a leader in the Intro to Education program—the list goes on. And so does his unending energy. I nominate Patrick Mahoney because his example personifies what is right about education. Although there are many, many great professionals in this district—all of whom deserve recognition—the time is right for Patrick Mahoney to be our “Teacher of the Year.” When I asked a group of teenagers to describe Mr. Mahoney, these were their words: “Encouraging. Understanding. Caring. Outgoing. Supportive. Awesome. Nice. Welcoming. And Fun!” Worthy accolades for a deserving teacher. He would represent us well.
It was a great night to be together, along with celebrating the many positive staff members that make up District 518. Congratulations to those honored.
