Dear Bailey’s ES Community,
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 Bailey’s 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.
We also know that our students need care, support, and understanding as they learn about acts of gun violence. Your child may have questions and concerns after learning about this tragic news. The National Association of School Psychologists has a helpful resource for families and educators to support them when talking with students about school violence. If your child expresses concerns after learning about what happened, please let us know and we will connect them with a school counselor who can provide support.
We stand together, as the Bailey’s Elementary School community and in solidarity with the Robb Elementary School community.
Satonya Dews
