This is a tremendously sad event that those in our school community can relate to on multiple levels. We would like to encourage you and your family to seek out support and support one another. Talk to your children about what they are thinking, what they hear at school and what they see on social media.

If you have concerns, please talk to your child’s teacher or principal. The following organizations have also been identified as sources of help:
