WSHS Student Loss

Dear West Springfield Family and Community,

I am writing with sadness to inform you of the unexpected death of one of our students. We were informed that a 12th grade student passed away on Sunday. Our thoughts and support go out to the student’s family and friends at this very difficult time. I am sharing his passing so you may provide any support your child might need.

Understanding death, especially the death of a peer, can be a difficult experience. Should you sense that your child is in need of emotional support, please contact your child’s school counselor, psychologist, or social worker. Our counselors and members of the crisis response team will be available to meet with any students and staff members who need support in dealing with this news. The safety and well-being of our students will remain our primary focus.

On behalf of all members of the West Springfield High School, our deepest condolences are with the family during this difficult time. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to call the school’s main office at 703-913-3800.

 

Respectfully,

Michael Mukai

West Springfield High School
