Words From Mrs. Worley
January 23, 2025
Dear Families,
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our community for the outpouring of support and kindness in the last 24 hours.
Many of you reached out to inquire about ways to support the McNabb family. We are aware that a GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family. If you would like information about that account, please complete this form. As we become aware of more opportunities to serve the McNabb family or information regarding services, we will share that information.
Thankfully, but still heartbreaking, we have not navigated this kind of painful loss. I learned that there are a few places we can grow in our communication.
The district crisis team provided tremendous help and support to us as we navigated this pain. But as a prek-12, we are a unique makeup for them. Neither the district nor I processed that while we needed to share the communication with the entire school, we needed to clarify that the information was only shared with the grade levels directly impacted. This did create challenges for some families. For that I apologize and extend my thanks for your grace and understanding.
As a community, we are grieving a tremendous loss. My team continues to work to support each other and the precious children in our care.
This morning, I instructed my team to take time and space to process and grieve this profound loss. I respectfully ask two things of our community. First, please extend grace as they continue to serve our students while processing their own grief. Second, I ask for understanding from each of you. I afforded the staff and faculty some additional time to respond to communication over the next couple of weeks. This will allow them to unplug over the next couple of weekends and spend time healing.
Below I have linked a few more resources for our community. As always, please reach out to me if I can further assist you in this difficult time.
Honored to Serve You All,
Janet Worley
