Dear Fontana Unified Parents, Families, Community, and Staff,
We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragedy that occurred at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. It is difficult for educators and parents to comprehend such catastrophic events. We feel closely connected to the children, teachers, staff, families, and the community devastated by this loss of innocent lives. Our primary focus is always to keep our children safe while they learn, and schools continue to be one of the safest places for children.
The Fontana Unified School District is fortunate to have a school police department that works closely with local law enforcement every day to provide Fontana students with a safe learning environment. We encourage anyone who sees or hears anything suspicious to contact our school police or local law enforcement.
We know that traumatic events and images can have an impact on everyone. Our site administrators, teachers, counselors, and MTSS Department are available to provide support and remain responsive to our children and their varied responses.
During times of trauma, questions often arise regarding how to talk to children about violence and other recent tragedies. Here are some resources to consider:
- Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers (from the National Association of School Psychologists)
- How to Talk to Kids About Violence, Crime, and War (from Common Sense Media)
- Gun Violence and Mass Shootings – Table Talk: Family Conversations About Current Events (from the Anti-Defamation League)
- Helping Children Cope with Frightening News (from the Child Mind Institute)
We hope that some of the above resources may be helpful as we all process yesterday’s news, and we thank you for your continued support in helping to keep our students and staff safe.

Estimados padres, familias, comunidad y personal de Fontana Unified,
Estamos profundamente entristecidos al enterarnos de la tragedia que ocurrió en la Escuela Primaria Robb en Uvalde, Texas, el martes 24 de mayo del 2022. Es difícil para los educadores y los padres comprender tales eventos catastróficos. Nos sentimos estrechamente conectados con los niños, los maestros, el personal, las familias y la comunidad devastada por esta pérdida de vidas inocentes. Nuestro enfoque principal es siempre mantener a nuestros niños seguros, y las escuelas siguen siendo uno de los lugares más seguros para los niños.
El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Fontana tiene la suerte de contar con un departamento de policía escolar que trabaja estrechamente con la policía local todos los días para proporcionar a los estudiantes de Fontana un entorno de aprendizaje seguro. Animamos a cualquier persona que vea o escuche algo sospechoso a que se ponga en contacto con nuestra policía escolar o con la policía local.
Sabemos que los eventos e imágenes traumáticas pueden tener un impacto en todos. Nuestros administradores, los maestros, los consejeros y el Departamento de MTSS están disponibles para proporcionar apoyo y seguir respondiendo a nuestros niños y sus variadas respuestas.
Durante tiempos de trauma, a menudo surgen preguntas sobre cómo hablar con los niños sobre la violencia y otras tragedias recientes. Aquí hay algunos recursos para considerar:
- Hablar con los niños sobre la violencia: consejos para padres y maestros (de la Asociación Nacional de Psicólogos Escolares)
- Cómo hablar con los niños sobre la violencia, el crimen y la guerra (de Common Sense Media)
- Violencia armada y tiroteos masivos – Charla de mesa: Conversaciones familiares sobre eventos actuales (de la Liga Anti-Difamación)
- Cómo ayudar a los niños a sobrellevar las noticias aterradoras (del Child Mind Institute)
Esperamos que algunos de los recursos anteriores sean útiles mientras todos procesamos las noticias de ayer, y les agradecemos su continuo apoyo para ayudar a mantener a nuestros estudiantes y personal seguros.
