Dear Clermont Community,
I have recently been made aware of students using antisemitic language towards another student or staff member.
Let me be clear: FCPS does not tolerate discriminatory harassment in our schools. This incident does not align with the environment we seek to cultivate at Clermont ES. FCPS has made a commitment that when incidents like this occur, we will be transparent in addressing them and clear in our commitment to our school environment.
Every student in FCPS has the right to feel safe, respected, and affirmed in our schools. Words matter — in every context and every situation. In partnership with the FCPS Chief Equity Office, we will continue working within our school to foster dialogue about dignity, belonging, and humanization. I encourage you to engage in these conversations at home as well.
Here are two resources that may help guide your family discussions:
Our students can make a real difference in the world by learning to embrace and value differences rather than using them to divide.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to me directly. I welcome your ideas about how we can make Clermont ES an even more welcoming and culturally responsive environment for all.
Sincerely,
Roxanne Salata, Principal
