Dear Parents and Guardians,
The recent events that occurred in Florida are tragic. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and the first-responders in the Broward County community.
Your children may have seen recent news about this event, including social media posts that can be graphic in nature. Please be assured that counseling staff in Holley is available to speak with any students who wish to process this event with a trusted adult. Your children may also seek your counsel as they try to understand how events like this can happen. I am including a link from the American Psychological Association with information on how to talk with your children about school shootings: http://www.apa.org/topics/violence/school-shooting.aspx.
The safety, and social and emotional well-being of our students is of the utmost importance. While we periodically review our safety measures, be assured that we will do so once again in coming days.
Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued support of Holley schools. Your partnership is very much appreciated.
Best regards,
John Schiess
Interim Superintendent
