Documentary Screening and Panel Discussion Event on ...

Sent on behalf of VCUSD Superintendent William Spalding VCUSD community,  I wanted to invite you to an event tomorrow evening. In partnership with Watch Me Grow, we will host a screening event and panel discussion regarding the documentary  Resilience,  on Thursday, Oct. 27, at 5:30 p.m. in Jesse Bethel High School’s little theatre.  Researchers have  determined brain chemistry changes that can be  caused by abuse and neglect during childhood. As the documentary  Resilience  reveals, toxic stress can trigger hormones that wreak havoc on the brains and bodies of children, putting them at a greater risk for disease, homelessness, prison time, and early death. While the broader impacts of poverty worsen the risk, no segment of society is immune. Resilience, however, also chronicles the dawn of a movement determined to fight back. Trailblazers in pediatrics, education, and social welfare use cutting-edge science and field-tested therapies to protect children from the insidious effects of toxic stress—and the dark legacy of a childhood that no child would choose. If you are available, I hope you can attend this free event.  William Spalding Superintendent  Vallejo City Unified School District

Jesse Bethel High School Update

Sent on behalf of VCUSD Superintendent William Spalding. VCUSD community,  I wanted to follow up with you to let you know how today went at Jesse Bethel High School. I spent most of my day at the high school, which went very smoothly.  Like I said in yesterday’s message, we called the rumors vague and unsubstantiated. There was no specific reference to the high school or threat, but we took it very seriously.  I encourage you to talk to your student, and if they feel unsafe at school, tell someone and not perpetuate any rumors on social media.  We will debrief after this incident and see what can be improved.  Thank you for your patience, partnership, and continued support of VCUSD.  Have a restful weekend.  William Spalding Superintendent Vallejo City Unified School District
