Monday plans

Hello HBB community,

I want to take a moment to let you know what we will be doing Monday in response to the unthinkable tragedy in CT.

To start, we will be meeting as a faculty both before and after school to discuss our current safety procedures and to discuss our plans for supporting students over the coming days.

We understand that some of our students have been sheltered from most of the media coverage while others are very much aware of the event. Students will be coming in with varying degrees of information and concern and we will be prepared to provide support and answer questions as they arise.

We will not be addressing this incident collectively with all students. Our goal is to make sure students feel and know they are safe. Each classroom teacher will be addressing the incident as questions come up and we will have additional supports available throughout the day.

Over the next couple of days we will be working with the Superintendent, District Administrators and local police to review our current emergency response plans and we will be making modifications as needed.

The safety of your child is our NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
