Message from the Principal
Kingsley Parents,
My heart remains heavy as the details surrounding the school shooting in Connecticut continue to unfold. This weekend, I hugged my children a little tighter as I thought of the twenty parents who are having to deal with the unfathomable loss of their children. I want to let you know that we will not be discussing the school shooting that took place on Friday with our student body. I firmly believe that each family must make the decision as to whether or not discussion of such a violent, horrific act is right for their household.
I also want you to know that in light of Friday's tragedy, the Admin. Team in conjunction with our Safe School Committee has already begun a review of our Safe School Plan, and will provide our entire Faculty and Staff with any necessary updates. As a part of our Safe School Plan, we have already had a successful Lockdown Drill earlier this semester, with plans to have another in the near future.
Please join me in continuing to keep the families in Newtown, Ct. in your thoughts and prayers.
If you have any immediate questions or concerns, please contact us at (678) 874-8902.
Sincerely,
Jasmine Smith
Jasmine C. Smith, Ed.D.
