Dear Jeffco parents,

This message is about the tragedy at an elementary school today in Connecticut. Our hearts are broken for the families and the community– we hold them in our hearts and prayers.

Please be assured that our Jeffco staff does everything they can to keep your children safe. We will heighten our awareness even more over the next week, with extra security precautions.

We will have resources on our website for parents who may need help in talking to their children about this tragedy. The website is www.jeffcopublicschools.org.
