Mark Twain Elementary

Good Evening. Due to teaching staff absences as a result of both illness and weather and our inability to secure enough substitutes at this time, we do not feel we can safely supervise and provide strong instruction for students at either campus. Both campuses have been impacted. Therefore, both Copperopolis and Mark Twain Elementary will have a full closure tomorrow, Tuesday, February 28, 2023. Buenas noches. Debido a las ausencias del personal docente como resultado de la enfermedad y el clima y nuestra incapacidad para asegurar suficientes sustitutos en este momento, no sentimos que podamos supervisar y proporcionar una instrucci n s lida para los estudiantes en ninguno de los campus. Ambos campus se han visto afectados. Por lo tanto, tanto Copperopolis como Mark Twain Elementary tendr n un cierre completo ma ana, martes 28 de febrero de 2023.

Full Message from 82290 MTwain_UESD: Good Evening Families and Staff, This is Ms. Paula, Superintendent, MTUESD. I wanted to reach out and connect one final time regarding the safety issue that arose at Mark Twain Elementary, beginning yesterday. I know that Ms. Shaw reached out a bit earlier to update you on all of today's precautions and activities to ensure the safety of our students. This message is equally important. First, I want you to know that I did speak with the parent of the individual at the center of the concern. I want to also confirm that the student will not be returning to any school in our district. Secondly, I want to thank you for your patience and understanding with the two auto-dialers, the one from me arriving quite late. We felt it was important to provide as much information as we could to quell fears and anxiety regarding the safety of our school. Next, I want to commend Ms. Shaw and her staff for her communication and commitment to your children. I appreciate Badger Boosters and Copper PTC for allowing their facebook pages to be a platform to get information to families. I want to thank Scott Nanik, Bret Harte Superintendent, for working closely with me to make sure that our community could be confident in our commitment to school remaining a safe place to learn. And, without fail I want to thank and acknowledge Angels Camp PD, specifically Officer Savage who worked well into the night with Ms. Shaw and myself for the sole purpose of protecting our children and schools. Officer Savage coordinated with Sheriff and CHP, which was appreciated by all. Finally, I would like to strongly encourage you to have or start having an open dialog with your children along with on-going, active monitoring of not only what groups your child associates with on social media, what others are posting in these platforms, and what your child might be posting. Have a good evening and I look forward to seeing you next week at the Back to School Nights.

We are in the process of conducting a full threat assessment and determining safety and until it is without a doubt safe, the individual student or students in question will not be on our campus. We have also alerted our neighbor Bret Harte High School and Copperopolis Elementary. We believe our planning and coordinated efforts will maintain the safety of all children. Again, we thank you for your support and continued communication. Estimadas familias mark twain, Esta es la Sra. Paula, Superintendente. Pido disculpas por la tardanza de esta llamada.

Good Evening Mark Twain Families, This is Mrs. Shaw. I want to assure you that student safety is our top priority and all safety concerns are taken seriously. I am working with Angels Camp Police and they will be present tomorrow morning due to a reported safety concern. It was reported earlier today that a student brought bullets and shotgun shells to school. This incident was fully investigated by the Administration . No bullets were found. There was no report of any weapons by any students I am also aware of the posting on social media and will continue to monitor it. I applaud all students for talking to their parents about their safety concerns and showing them the social media posts. I will reach out again should it be warranted. Feel free to contact me should you have any new information. Thank you everyone for your diligent support in keeping our school  We look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow. If you have any questions, please call your child's school. For Mark Twain, dial 736-6533. For Copperopolis, dial 782-3500. Thank you
