Good morning, everyone –
I am extremely saddened this morning to inform you of a tragic accident that took the life of one of our students. Yesterday, Jack Street, a senior at Nipmuc, passed away after falling from a ski lift at Ward Hill in Shrewsbury.
This is a horrible tragedy that impacts all of us at Nipmuc. Jack will be remembered as a bright and talented young man with a great sense of humor and a tremendous personality. His loss will be felt deeply by us not only today, but also in the weeks, months, and years to come.
As a school community we need to be able to rely on each other at this time of sadness. Please know that all of the guidance counselors in the district are available at Nipmuc throughout the day as a resource for students, staff, and faculty. Anyone who wishes to take advantage of this support may be excused to work with a counselor at any point today. In addition, we have been in contact with the Riverside Trauma Center who will provide additional help as needed for the members of our community.
If you would like to dismiss your child from school today, please know that this will be an excused dismissal. If possible, we ask that students being dismissed are met by a parent at the school.
We realize that this loss will affect our entire communities of Mendon and Upton. As a school, we are available to work with you to provide as much support as possible.
On behalf of our entire school community, I extend our sincere sympathy to Jack's family and friends at this time of mourning.
Sincerely,
John Clements
