Dear Bishop Families,

This is a terrible tragedy for these families and their loved ones and our hearts go out to everyone impacted. Our community will step up to be here for each other during this difficult time. Counseling and support services for students, families, and staff will be widely available at each school site. More details will be shared in the coming days. Immediate counseling support is being offered on the BUHS Front Lawn at 12pm on Saturday 10/30 for anyone who would like to attend.
Below are several crisis response resources we encourage you to use or share with those who may need them. We are deeply saddened by this loss to our community. Hold the ones you love close and know that our community and our trained county crisis team are here for support.
