The news from Freeman High School is heart wrenching. School shootings should never happen.
Our Clackamas Education Service District community has the Freeman School District and their families in our hearts and minds today. We are especially thinking of the family and friends of the victims.
We also recognize the importance that first responders play in keeping our communities safe, and are eternally grateful for their service.
For those with children who will see and hear this news at school, on the television, or through social media, please remember there are resources to keep them feeling safe and protected. Here is one I recommend from Colorín Colorado, available in Spanish and English:
