We know events like these can impact the physical and mental well-being of our students, staff, and families. Such tragedies can surface fears about safety. We are deeply grieving alongside the Robb Elementary families and extend our condolences to all who were impacted as well as acknowledge the fact that such tragic events sadden us all. The recent mass shootings and yesterday’s tragedy at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX are devastating. Dear Compton Unified School District Community, We are heartbroken.
