A Message From Fillmore Unified School District Superintendent Christine Schieferle

Dear FUSD Community,  

We are heartbroken by the tragic news of the mass school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and send our thoughts and prayers to all who were affected by this senseless tragedy.

We anticipate that students may have questions as they learn of this tragic event, and are offering the following resources to help parents and educators respond in the most appropriate way.

School counselors are also available at all of our school sites, and we have posted additional mental health resources on each school’s webpage.

Please know the safety and mental health of our students and staff is our utmost priority. We encourage our families to reach out to their school administrator for additional support or resources.

Sincerely,
Christine Schieferle, Superintendent
Fillmore Unified School District

Actualizar: Mensaje Importante de Superintendente Schieferle

Estimadas Familias del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Fillmore,

El siguiente es un mensaje importante de parte de Christine Schieferle, Superintendente de nuestro  distrito escolar.  Hoy, poco después de la 1PM, fuimos notificado de un altercado entre dos estudiantes de Fillmore High School que involucró el uso de una navaja en el plantel escolar.  Uno de los estudiante sufrió lesiones sin amenaza a la vida.  El otro estudiante fue detenido por autoridades del la Oficína del Sheriff del Condado de Ventura.  El incidente fue aislado,  y ningun otro estudiante estuvo en peligro. Clases terminaron al horario normal y los estudiantes salieron de la escuela a las 3:02PM.  Por question de privacidad estudiantil, más detalles sobre el incidente pueden ser compartidos.

Quiero asegurar a nuestras familias que nuestros estudiantes estarán salvos y seguros en la escuela mañana.  No toleramos violencia en nuestros planteles y estamos tomando medidas apropiadas para responder a estas situaciones.  Precauciones mañana incluyirán patrullas adicionales al rededor de la escuela. También habrán consejeras disponible para cualquier estudiante que necesite los servicios.

Gracias a todos por su apoyo y comprensión mientras trabajamos con autoridades de la ley, y sepan que la seguridad de sus hijos es nuestra prioridad primordial.

Sincerely,
Christine Schieferle, Superintendente
Fillmore Unified School District

Update: Message From Superintendent Schieferle

Dear FUSD Community,

Shortly after 1:00 PM today, we were notified of an altercation between two Filmore High School students involving a knife on our high school campus. One student sustained a non-life-threatening injury. The other student was detained by deputies with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. This was an isolated incident, and no other students were in danger. School was dismissed at the regular time of 3:02 PM. Due to student privacy issues, we are unable to release additional details about the incident at this time.

I want to reassure our families that it will be safe for students to return to school tomorrow. We do not tolerate violence on campus and are taking all appropriate measures to respond to this situation. Out of an abundance of caution, the Sheriff’s office will provide extra patrols in and around the school tomorrow. We are also making counselors available to any student who needs them.

Thank you to our families for your patience and understanding as we worked closely with law enforcement to address this incident, and please know the safety of our students and staff is our utmost priority.

Sincerely,
Christine Schieferle, Superintendent
Fillmore Unified School District
