Superintendent's Weekly Newsletter

Dear Cucamonga School District Families,

As we approach February and recognize Black History Month, we want to highlight how this time of reflection connects with the core values of empathy, resilience, and respect for diversity in our Portrait of a Graduate (POG).

Black History Month is an opportunity to honor the contributions, leadership, and achievements of African-American/Black individuals throughout history. It also invites us to reflect, learn, and appreciate the ways in which this history has shaped our country. By exploring stories of excellence, perseverance, and innovation, we gain a deeper understanding of our shared past and present.

Here are some meaningful ways to engage with Black History Month:

• Share and discuss stories of African-American/Black excellence and resilience with your child. These conversations can inspire perseverance and a commitment to fairness and inclusion.
• Practice active listening when your child shares what they are learning. Let’s create a space where all voices are heard and valued.
• Explore local events or read books by African-American/Black authors as a family. These experiences can foster understanding, strengthen resilience, and encourage respect for different perspectives.

By embracing Black History Month as an opportunity for learning and growth, we can cultivate empathy, respect, and a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of our human experience.  

Thank you for your continued support in fostering these important values.
