A Message from the Superintendent on the HLPUSD Commitment to All Students
June 26, 2019

Commitment to All Students:  The Hacienda La Puente Unified School District has a long-standing commitment to serve all students who we are privileged to have enrolled in our District.  The Board of Education has not only approved a resolution that communicates to all families and students that the Board supports them, this has also been codified in a variety of policies with Board Policy 5145, adopted in June 2018, specifically established to ensure that every school site should be a safe and welcoming place for all students and their families irrespective of their citizenship or immigration status.  The School District maintains a resource area on this website to provide our community up-to-date resources from the County and state regarding protecting our children and the families in our community.

A copy of the Board Policy and Resolution and a letter from the District will be emailed to all parents, staff and community members.  Duplicated copies of the letter from the Board and the resolution will be available at all schools for access by students and their families.

Message from the Superintendent on HLP Safe Schools and Safe Havens and DACA Message from the Superintendent (9/6/2017):   HLPUSD Community: Yesterday morning, action was taken on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) by the President of the United States that creates questions and concerns from students, families, and staff members.  I want to ensure that we are reminded of this District's commitment to the families we serve.   Several months ago, a unanimous decision by the Board of Education reiterated what this school district stands for:  Hacienda La Puente maintains its commitment to serving all of the students within our community and providing them with an education in a safe environment.  As supported by the LA County Office of Education, the action on DACA does not impact our responsibility to provide an education.  The legal obligations put forth by both the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Plyer vs. Doe and the California Constitution defines public education as a fundamental right for our students.   Our roles as educators remains consistent: we are here to support our students and their families by providing support and information. HLPUSD continues to be a  Safe Haven for students regardless  of their immigration status.  With the recent actions, staff has worked on more opportunities to provide information to our staff and community:  

• Office Equity and Access will provide after school workshops for teachers interested in learning more about DACA and Immigration Rights.
• Parent/Family information Nights will be hosted by Equity and Access. 
• Information and protocols for administrators will be reviewed at the District Leadership Team meeting on Monday, September 11, 2017.
•  A copy of the Board Resolution is highlighted on the website.

Please feel free to contact us with questions or concerns or suggestions to assist in helping to keep everyone informed.  In trying times, I again reiterate my appreciation to each of you for your dedication and commitment to our students and families.   Hacienda La Puente Unified School District    

Mensaje de parte de el Superintendente (9/6/2017)

A la Comunidad de HLPUSD:

 Ayer por la mañana, se tomaron medidas sobre la Acción Diferida para los llegados en la Infancia (DACA) del Presidente de los Estados Unidos que creó preocupaciones y preguntas de parte de los estudiantes, familias y miembros del personal.  Yo quiero garantizar el compromiso del Distrito para con las familias que servimos.  Hace algunos meses, una decisión unánime reiteró lo que representa éste distrito escolar.  Hacienda La Puente mantiene su compromiso de server a todos los estudiantes dentro de nuestra comunidad proporcionándoles una educación en un ambiente seguro.   Con el apoyo de la Oficina de Educación del Condado de Los Ángeles, la acción de DACA no afecta nuestra responsabilidad para proporcionar una educación.  Las obligaciones legales propuestas por ambas, La Suprema Corte, y la Constitución de California, en la decisión Plyer vs. Doe define que la educación pública es un derecho fundamental de nuestros estudiantes

 Nuestro papel como educadores sigue siendo consistente: estamos aquí para apoyar a nuestros estudiantes y sus familias por medio de apoyo e información.  HLPUSD continúa siendo un refugio seguro para estudiantes sin importar su estado migratorio.  Con las acciones recientes, el personal ha estado trabajando en más oportunidades para ofrecer información a nuestro personal y la comunidad:

 El departamento de Equidad y Acceso ofrecerá talleres después de clases para maestros que estén interesados en aprender más sobre DACA y derechos sobre Inmigración.

Noches Informativas para padres/familias se llevarán a cabo a través del departamento de Acceso y Equidad

 Se repasarán la Información y los protocolos para administradores durante la reunión del lunes, 11 de septiembre, 2017 del Equipo de Liderazgo del Distrito

Una copia de la Resolución de la Junta Directiva se destaca en el sitio web del distrito

 Por favor no se detenga para ponerse en contacto con nosotros si tiene preguntas o preocupaciones, o sugerencias que nos ayude a mantener a todos informados. En tiempos difíciles, vuelvo a reintegrar mi agradecimiento a cada uno por su dedicación y compromiso hacia nuestros estudiantes y familias

HLPUSD 社區：

 昨天上午，美國總統就“兒童抵達延期行動”（DACA）採取了行動，引起了學生，家屬和工作人員的質疑和關切。我想確保提醒我們這個區對我們服務的家庭的承諾

幾個月前，教育委員會的一致決定重申了這所學區是什麼意思：Hacienda La Puente學區堅持致力於為社區內的所有學生提供服務，並為安全的環境提供教育。在洛杉磯縣教育廳的支持下，DACA的行動不影響我們提供教育的責任。美國最高法院對Plyer與Doe和加利福尼亞憲法的判決規定的法律義務將公共教育視為我們學生的基本權利

 我們作為教育者的角色仍保持一致：

我們在這里通過提供支持和信息來支持我們的學生及其家人。
無論移民身份如何，HLPUSD仍然是學生的避風港。
隨著最近的行動，工作人員致力

更多的機會向我們的工作人員和社區提供資訊：

 

·       辦公室權益和獲取機構 (Office Equity and Access) 將為有興趣了解DACA和移民權益的教師提供課後研討會

·       家長/家庭信息夜間將由Equity and Access主辦

·       管理人員的信息和協議將在2017年9月11日星期一的區領導小組會議上進行審查

·       董事會決議的副本將在網站上突出顯示

 

請隨時與我們聯繫，提出問題, 疑慮或建議，以協助幫助大家了解情況。

在這時候，我再次重申，感謝你們對我們學生和家屬的奉獻和承諾.
