Our prayers and thoughts are with the people of Sandy Hook School and its surrounding communities. Our entire school family grieves the loss of life and innocence as a result of last Friday’s shootings. The safety of students and staff at the Sigonella School Complex is paramount. We call upon our entire school community to renew its efforts to keep children safe by reporting any safety concerns to school officials. Our children are our most precious resource, and our hearts are broken by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Please know children may need extra care and support if/as they become aware of last Friday’s events.

Here is what your Sigonella schools are doing today:

- All safety procedures are being reviewed with a goal to do everything possible to keep children and staff from harm.
- We are renewing our efforts to collaborate with local community agencies to create a united effort aimed at school safety.
- We are directly asking our entire school community to renew its efforts to help us keep our children and schools safe.
- In addition both schools are scheduled to meet with base security forces tomorrow to review safety procedures and plans.

As always, if you have a concern please do not hesitate to contact us.
