Dear Cesar Chavez Middle School Families,

This morning at approximately 8:14 a.m., the fire alarm on campus was activated. The fire department quickly arrived to check the nature of the alarm. It was determined that the alarm was triggered by a panel being serviced and not by an actual fire.

At no time was there any threat to students or staff. By 8:43 a.m., the situation was resolved, and the campus returned to normal operations.

The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and we thank you for your understanding.

***********************
Estimadas familias de la Escuela Secundaria Cesar Chavez,

Esta mañana, aproximadamente a las 8:14 a. m., se activó la alarma contra incendios en el plantel. El departamento de bomberos llegó rÔpidamente para revisar la causa de la alarma. Se determinó que la alarma fue provocada por un panel que estaba siendo reparado y no por un incendio real.

En ningún momento hubo amenaza para los estudiantes ni el personal. A las 8:43 a. m., la situación quedó resuelta y el plantel retomó sus operaciones normales.

La seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal sigue siendo nuestra mÔxima prioridad, y agradecemos su comprensión.
