His loss is felt deeply across the school community, and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to all who knew and cared for him. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">During times of loss, it is normal for students and adults alike to experience a wide range of feelings, including sadness, worry, or confusion. Some may need extra reassurance, a chance to talk, or simply time and space to process. School-based supports are available, and help is accessible through community resources. We encourage families to check in with their students, offer opportunities to talk if needed, and reach out for support whenever necessary. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Ways to support your student: </span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Maintain normal routines as much as possible. </span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Ask questions to determine their understanding of the event and emotional state. </span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Give them permission to grieve.
