>Yesterday, I was made aware of an incident involving one of our teacher who participated in a community protest that was not affiliated with Nathan Hale Elementary School or the district.

>During the event, tensions rose when individuals drove by the protest attempting to provoke participants. In a moment of emotion, one of our teacher responded in a way that does not reflect the professionalism and respect we expect from our staff. While this incident took p[lace off school ground and outside of school hours, I have spoken directly wit the teacher involved, and the matter has been addressed internally.

>We recognize that these are difficult times in our community and that emotions often run high when people feel strongly about important issues. our priority remains fostering understanding, empathy and respect--both inside and outside of the classroom.

>We remain focused on what truly matters: supporting our students, families, and staff in a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment.

>Sincerely,

>Dawn Iles- Gomez
