Dear Eureka City Schools Learning Community,

Over the past several months—particularly in recent weeks—we recognize our community's heightened concerns and fears about the safety and well-being of our learners and their loved ones. I want to take this opportunity to pledge our unwavering commitment to creating safe and welcoming learning communities.

At Eureka City Schools (ECS), we aim to ensure that every learner, every day, is engaged, empowered, and future-ready. It is our responsibility to ensure every learner who walks through the doors of our learning community is valued and respected and provided the personalized opportunities they need to be prepared to thrive in their preferred future.

We are fully committed to protecting the sanctity of our schools as spaces where ECS learners can study and grow without fear. To accomplish this, ECS will prioritize safety and work diligently to maintain environments where trust, belonging, and opportunity are foundational to the learning experience for all learners.

We know fears naturally surface in times of uncertainty. Please know all school sites within ECS will partner with our learners and their families to navigate current challenges and support overcoming future obstacles. Open communication is key, and we welcome you to contact your school site, district leadership, or me directly with any questions or concerns.

Our schools are stronger because of the diverse voices, backgrounds, and perspectives that enrich our ECS community. Together, we will ensure ECS remains a place where every learner is supported, every background is valued, and every future is bright and full of promise.

Thank you for your trust and collaboration as we move forward together with a shared commitment to every learner, every day. We will work tirelessly to continue to uphold our values of compassion and inclusivity, ensuring that every learner feels safe and empowered to succeed at ECS.

Sincerely,
Gary Storts, Superintendent
Eureka City Schools
