Dear Families,
We continue to be deeply shocked and saddened by the events that occurred today at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.
As our students leave school today, it’s very possible that they will learn about the shooting. Please know that, if your child has questions or concerns, our counselors are ready to assist.
We encourage students to speak with a counselor or another trusted adult if they need any help processing the news.
Additionally, we want to assure you that the safety of our students is our top priority. We are constantly reviewing our security measures to ensure that we are doing everything we can to protect our students and staff. We also urge everyone to speak up if they see or hear anything that could represent a potential threat to school safety.
Throughout this week, our focus will be on the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of our students. Please join us in keeping the Nashville community in our thoughts at this time. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Kevin Grover
ISD 361 Superintendent

Our schools cannot do it alone. They need the support of our families and communities to provide the resources and support they need to help students thrive.
We must not take for granted our public schools’ successes over the years. Instead, we should acknowledge that these successes are the result of the hard work and investments of generations of Minnesotans that came before us and to whom we should be grateful.
We must see ourselves as caregivers of the gift of public schools that we will hand to future generations.
During Public Schools Week, let’s show our support for our Minnesota public schools and the dedicated people who work tirelessly to provide a high-quality education for all children.

The teachers, school staff, and administrators serving public schools work incredibly hard to prepare the next generation of students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Teaching is a challenging and demanding profession, requiring patience, dedication, and a deep commitment to students' growth and wellbeing.
They strive to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences, while also addressing the diverse needs of their students.
Whether they teach students in the classroom, drive school buses, prepare nutritious meals, support students’ mental and emotional health, or maintain and repair buildings, the people serving in our public schools are making our communities and our world a better place.
