Dear Giant Families,
Following up on Dr. Holland's message regarding the deeply concerning situation at HPHS and Edgewood, I want to reiterate that student and staff safety is our absolute priority. We understand your concerns and are committed to transparency, sharing any updates as they may become available while respecting the ongoing police and district investigations.
We deeply appreciate our partnership with the Highland Park Police Department as they conduct their thorough investigation, and D113 has launched its own Title IX investigation as well.
Our entire staff, especially our dedicated counseling teams, are here to support your children. Students can access counseling services through the Drop-In Center or any member of our student services team. We encourage students to reach out if needed. We are here for you too.
Please remember that you can report a concern anonymously by submitting a tip to the District 113 Tip Line by calling or texting 844-224-1521 or by using the online portal. Also, a reminder to consider applying to join the D113 Security Advisory Committee. Applications are available in English and Spanish. You can find more information on the D113 website.
We are committed to ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment for every Giant. Thank you for partnering with us in this effort. We have much to embrace as Giants that is included down below and now is a time to keep community and emotional and physical safety at the forefront of our efforts.
As always, thank you for sharing your students with us this week and beyond,
Holly
