Jefferson County School stands in solidarity with the families, children, educators, and communities in Uvalde, Texas, in the wake of the tragic events of May 24th, 2022. There are no words that can restore what has been taken, not only from those individuals but from all of us. Everyone at Jefferson Schools is here for the community as we support our children together. You can find a list of resources on speaking to children about this difficult topic following this link: https://bit.ly/39SwBoW. We will also have counseling staff available for any of our students or staff who need that support. Please join us as we continue our end-of-year student celebrations and honors while remaining mindful of the impacted communities and our solemn responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of our children.
It’s heartbreaking to hear about the shooting at Robb Elementary in Texas. Today the SES staff will continue to keep your children safe and loved at SES. (I know that I will be giving an extra hug to all of my amazing students today. ) Our guidance counselor, Laura Colbert, is always available for any child who may need some extra support. Our hearts and prayers are with the families and staff in that Texas community! 💔 -Nancy McManus, Principal
