Due to extreme cold temperatures forecasted for tomorrow morning, 1/21/25, the AlWood School District will utilize an E-Learning Day. Please refer to your child's E-Learning Plan from school. Thank you and please stay safe!
Jade's Memorial Service -
The hope of Jade's family is that the memorial service will be people sharing stories about her. There will be one prayer and song. Please bring your stories to the service. Write them down if you are worried about being able to share them. Thank you for all of your support for the Jensen family.
It is with deep sadness that we inform you about the loss of one of our students, Jade Jensen, 6th grader, who passed away today.
Our district is committed to doing everything we can to help our students with the grieving and healing process. To that end, we have activated our crisis counseling team to be at our schools on Monday.
This loss will affect everyone in our school family and in the AlWood Community. Students may have a difficult time dealing with the loss, and we encourage you to talk with your child. If your child needs someone to talk to, please reach out to our school administrators or counselors for assistance.
Please join us in keeping Jade's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
