The Community School of Excellence is deeply saddened by the recent tragedy at Annunciation Church and School. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the students, families, educators, and community members who are grieving this unimaginable loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they navigate this painful time.
Acts of violence have no place in our schools or in our communities. Schools should always be safe, nurturing environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive, and where educators can teach with confidence and care.
As we prepare to welcome our students back, we want to reassure our families and staff of our deep commitment to safety. We are reviewing our safety policies and procedures to ensure a secure and supportive start to the school year. In addition, staff will be onsite to provide support and counseling for anyone in our community who may need it in the days and weeks ahead.
Together, we stand in care and solidarity with Annunciation Church and School, and we remain dedicated to fostering a safe, compassionate, and resilient community for all of our students, families, and staff.
With care and unity,
Community School of Excellence Leadership Team
