A message from Dr. Simmons:

It is with profound sadness that I share with you that School Resource Officer Lucas Nagel passed away on Saturday, Dec. 31. This loss shakes our family to the core as Lucas was a loved and trusted member of Caroline County Public Schools and most certainly, the Colonel families. CRMS and CRHS students were informed of this loss in their first period classes this morning. Counselors and other support personnel were made available and will continue to be available on an ongoing basis.

The death of a staff member may affect a child in a variety of ways depending on the age of a child, how well the child knew SRO Nagel, and the child’s prior experience with grief. Please listen to your children and monitor their social media activity. If they seem to need to talk, answer their questions simply, honestly and as often as they need.

We have attached resources to this email that may be of assistance in talking with your child, and have more available if needed. We are here to help in any way possible, so please reach out to the schools as needed. Please keep the Nagel family in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks to come.

The Maryland Department of Education is allowing districts to use three (3) asynchronous inclement weather days as virtual learning days. This limits the number of days that would normally have to be added on to the end of the school year.

Elementary: Folders with brief Math and/or English Language Arts assignments will be sent home in preparation for an inclement weather day. Internet/Wi-Fi will not be required to complete assignments. Assignments will be due shortly after school is back in session and will count as attendance for the virtual day.

Secondary: Students will be able to access their assignments offline without the need for Internet/Wi-Fi access using their school-issued device. Assignments will be brief and a review of material already covered in the classroom. Work will be due shortly after school is back in session and will count as attendance for the virtual day.
