Report Safety Concerns and Serious Injuries to the Principal
Parents, if you see a safety concern or your child has suffered a serious injury at school, please send me an email at chertz@smmusd.org or call me at 310-457-9370 ext. 78-202. Your immediate observations and ideas have been extremely valuable over the past few months. I look forward to working with you to make our school even safer. Also, please tell your child to contact me or a staff member if they think there is a dangerous incident. This includes aggression on campus, stranger danger, or if someone talks about harassment or suicide. Your child’s safety is of utmost importance to each of us. If your child cannot access me, have them write me a note and include their last name. I will get back to your child quickly.
