October 9, 2020 Daniel Hand High School Support
Good evening Daniel Hand High School community members:
It is with a heavy heart that I send this message to our school community. This afternoon, I learned of the unexpected loss of life of one of our students. In an effort to support our students and staff during this incredibly challenging time, Daniel Hand High School will be open tomorrow, Saturday, October 10, 2020, from 12:00-3:00 PM. Daniel Hand and Madison Youth and Family Services support staff will be available during this time. Any student or staff member in need of support or just someone to talk with is encouraged to stop by during this time.
The loss of a young person can, and often does, have an emotional impact on many members of a school community. As we have done in the past, I ask that we support one another while keeping in mind that our guidance counselors, support staff, and administration are here to support you during these difficult times.
Daniel Hand guidance counselors and support staff will also be available to meet with any students or staff in need of support on Monday, October 12, 2020. The building will be open to students from 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM. I encourage students to stop by if they need support of any nature. During this difficult time, please pay extra attention to the needs of our children and young adults. Do not hesitate to contact the school if there is anything you need.
Finally, on behalf of the Daniel Hand High School faculty and staff, I would like to extend our deepest condolences to the student's family and loved ones.
Sincerely,
Mr. Salutari
