Clark Middle School & High School
Student/Parent Newsletter for January 30th - February 3rd
Hi everyone,
This next week we are rolling into February. We are already halfway through 3rd quarter. Mid-term is on Friday, February 3rd. We will send home mid-term grades the following week. As we close out the month of January, we had some heartbreaking news for our school and community as we learned about the loss of one of our High School students, Zack Weber, on Thursday. This week we have had counselors available and for a good part of Thursday pastoral support was available at the school. We are so appreciative of the support during this difficult time. Routine has been important and having grace in knowing that each and every one of us deals with loss differently and the supports we need may look different too. For anyone who knows Zack, his smile simply lit up any room. He embodied what kindness is all about and cared about people. As we are still processing the loss of Zack as a school and community, we do know we will navigate this together. I have included a resource for parents below. If you or your child are struggling, please reach out to us at the school and we will help provide support to get through this together.
Many thanks to all of our parents, students, staff, and pastoral support for being a part of a community that comes together to support one another through such a difficult time.
Ms. Heggelund
