Good Evening Glen Forest Families: 

I share in your grief, fear, and frustration about the tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday. These events impact us all in personal ways. One thing we all have in common is our condemnation of these senseless acts of violence. 

Another thing we have in common is our commitment to keeping our schools, and the students and employees within them, safe. FCPS and Glen Forest ES work to make critical safety upgrades to our buildings, plan and practice day-to-day safety and security measures, and respond swiftly to any concern or possible event. Please know that we take safety and security very seriously at Glen Forest ES and are open to feedback and suggestions.  

We also know that our students need care, support, and understanding as they learn about acts of gun violence. We have that support in place and encourage you to let your child's teacher know if you feel your child needs social/emotional support at this time. 

As with everything we do, we will work our way through this together. Today, just like we do every day, we will lean on each other and provide our students and our colleagues the support we all need. 

If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at dlherndonwi1@fcps.edu. 

Warmly,

Dee Dee Herndon-Wilson, Your Proud Principal
