Dear Jewell Community,
It is with profound sadness that I write this letter to let you know that one of our school staff members has lost their child unexpectedly on Saturday, October 8. Although this individual was not a student within our school, they were very much a part of our community. Our sincere condolences and thoughts go out to the family. The Jewell community is unique in that it is small and very close to one another, that losing a member of our youth has a great impact. During this time as the school community processes the tragic news and copes with grief, the Jewell School District will offer counseling and bereavement support services to all of our students, staff, and community should they need this support.
A close death is a difficult and challenging situation that can generate a high level of anxiety and distress for some students. If you feel that your children, or even yourself, are having difficulty, we encourage you to discuss your/their thoughts and feelings to help work through any grief, or concerns. Please also consider monitoring your childrens’ communications (social media, phone, e-mails, text messages) to further analyze any potential need for help and guidance.
If you feel that your children, or yourself, need to speak to a counselor or other caring adult, please do not hesitate to call our school and let us know. We will have counselors on-site to speak with on Monday, October 10. This is a difficult time for everyone, but I know our students and staff will lean on each other with love and support. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me, or your school principal.
Sincerely,
Cory Pederson
Jewell School District No. 8
Interim-Superintendent
