Brookwood Family,
It is with a heavy heart that I write my message today in the wake of the tragic event that unfolded this week in one of our neighboring counties. The news has left us all deeply saddened and shaken. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Apalachee High School victims, the families, the students, staff, administration, and the entire Barrow County community affected by this tragedy.
In times like these, it is essential that we come together as a community to support one another. We recognize that many of you and your children, no matter their age, may be experiencing a range of emotions—fear, anger, confusion, and sadness. Please know that we are here to support you. Our counselors and support staff are available for anyone who needs someone to talk to or just a comforting presence to process these heavy thoughts and emotions.
We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of every member of our school community. In light of this tragedy, we want to reassure you that we will continue to review and strengthen our safety protocols. The safety of our students and staff is our utmost priority. I am very grateful for our district’s commitment to providing a school resource officer on every campus. We are so lucky to have Officer Russell with us every day.
We encourage parents to have open and honest conversations with their children. It is important to listen to their concerns and reassure them that we are doing everything we can to keep our school a safe place for learning and growth.
Together, we will continue to foster a safe and supportive environment where our students can thrive.
We are in this together.
Love,
Mrs. Moity
