Dear Staff and Parents of Illinois Park,
Our school is committed to a safe learning environment for all students and staff. Therefore, I want to keep you informed when there is a disruption to our school environment.
On January 26, we were made aware that one of our teachers allegedly mistreated a student during recess time. The administration took immediate action, and on that same day, the teacher was asked to leave and not return to the building. The teacher was immediately placed on administrative leave. Additionally, this incident was reported to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the Elgin Police Department for further investigation.
We strive to promote a culture of mutual respect and take deliberate steps to create a positive school culture and climate in which every student can learn, and feel safe, nurtured, and welcome. We ask that you please explain to your child that if they see or become aware of any inappropriate behavior or safety concerns, to notify you, a trusted adult, or the police right away.
Sincerely,
Apryl Lowe
Principal
Illinois Park Early Learning Center
Un mensaje importante de la Directora Lowe
Estimado personal y padres de Illinois Park,
Nuestra escuela se compromete en brindar un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro para todos los estudiantes y el personal. Por lo tanto, quiero mantenerlos informados cuando haya una interrupción en nuestro entorno escolar.
El 26 de enero, se nos informó que uno de nuestros maestros presuntamente maltrató a un estudiante durante el recreo. La administración tomó medidas inmediatas y ese mismo día se le pidió al maestro que se fuera y no regresará al edificio. El maestro fue puesto en suspensión administrativa. Adicionalmente, este incidente se le reportó al Departamento de Servicios de Niños y Familias de Illinois (DCFS, por sus siglas en inglés) y al Departamento de Policía de Elgin para una mayor investigación.
Nos esforzamos por promover una cultura de respeto mutuo y tomamos medidas deliberadas para crear una cultura y un clima escolar positivos en los que todos los estudiantes puedan aprender y sentirse seguros, atendidos y bienvenidos. Le pedimos que le explique a su hijo(a) que si ve o se da cuenta de cualquier comportamiento inapropiado o problemas de seguridad, debe notificarlo a usted, a un adulto de confianza o a la policía de inmediato.
Atentamente,
Apryl Lowe
Directora
Centro de Aprendizaje Temprano Illinois Park
