FROM AMS
September 23, 2016
Dear AMS Parents:
It is with much sadness that I must share some upsetting news. One of our students passed away at his home this morning. To let students know of the loss on our campus, teachers read a statement to students in class that let them know one of their peers was involved in a fatal accident. It gave no details, but encouraged students to be respectful of everyone’s feelings. Counselors are available for students and staff.
Grief is a deeply personal emotion. Please know that we have trained counselors to assist students as they deal with their grief. If you believe your child needs assistance, but may be reluctant to come forward, please let a teacher or counselor know. Campus counselors will be available to talk with students who are struggling with this news today and in the future. We will be glad to talk with him or her, and will be especially watchful for signs of distress in all of our students in the coming days.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call any of the counselors or administrators.
Sincerely,
Karl Koehler
Principal
