Dear Parents and Guardians,
It is with great sadness that I inform you about the death of one of our students. One of our 6thgrade students was part of a tragedy that you may have heard about on the news. ...
We suggest you listen to your children if they seem to need to talk. Answer any questions they might have simply, honestly and possibly over and over again. The death of a student may affect your child in a variety of ways depending on his/her age, how well he/she knew the child, and your child’s prior experience with grief. When reacting to a death, your child may:
• appear not to be affected
• be thinking about it privately
• ask a lot of questions
• be frightened
• be agitated and angry
• be sad and withdrawn
• try extra hard to be good
