Dear Staff and Families,
We want to make you aware that a “National Shutdown Day” has been publicized for tomorrow, Friday, January 30, 2026. This action is being organized nationally as a response to ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity across the country.
We recognize that events such as these can raise questions, concerns, and strong emotions, especially for families who may be directly or indirectly impacted. Please know that our schools remain safe, welcoming spaces where all students are valued, supported, and cared for, regardless of background or immigration status.
At this time, we are not aware of any student-led activities planned on our campuses tomorrow, and schools will operate as usual. We strongly encourage students to attend school so they do not miss valuable instructional time and the opportunity to connect with their teachers and peers.
We also want to reassure families that our district has protocols in place in the event of an immigration enforcement attempt at our schools. We are prepared to keep students, staff, and families safe. FUSD does not collect or share information regarding a student’s or family’s immigration status, and we are committed to protecting student privacy. If your family is experiencing worry or uncertainty, our school staff, including counselors and family liaisons are available to listen and provide support.
Thank you for your continued partnership and trust. Together, we remain committed to ensuring our schools are places of learning, stability, and care for every child, every day.
With respect,
Christine Schieferle
Superintendent
