Message to Families - February 11, 2026

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear&nbsp;Families,&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board is&nbsp;deeply&nbsp;saddened to learn of&nbsp;the&nbsp;horrific events&nbsp;that took place&nbsp;yesterday&nbsp;impacting&nbsp;a&nbsp;school and community in Tumbler Ridge, British&nbsp;Columbia.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">No words can&nbsp;adequately&nbsp;express our condolences&nbsp;to&nbsp;those affected.&nbsp;Our hearts are with the students, families, and community members who have been&nbsp;directly&nbsp;impacted&nbsp;by&nbsp;this&nbsp;awful event.&nbsp;While there are many national and international events that&nbsp;affect&nbsp;people&nbsp;on a daily or weekly basis, events&nbsp;impacting&nbsp;schools have an impact on everyone attached to schools and education.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Significant events&nbsp;like these, that are in the public eye and heavily featured on news and social media, can have an impact on students and families&nbsp;in&nbsp;different ways. These impacts may&nbsp;look different&nbsp;for each person&nbsp;and be&nbsp;impacted&nbsp;by&nbsp;their source(s) of&nbsp;information&nbsp;and/or media&nbsp;coverage.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are here to offer support.&nbsp;The board’s Educational Services team is available to support students and families as needed.&nbsp;Educational Services&nbsp;has prepared&nbsp;the following tips to help&nbsp;families support students&nbsp;during&nbsp;this time:&nbsp;</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Recognize that&nbsp;students may&nbsp;become concerned that something bad will happen to themselves, family, or friends. Explain that safety measures are in place and reassure them that you and other adults will take care of them.&nbsp;</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If your student is not focused on&nbsp;what&nbsp;happened,&nbsp;avoid dwelling&nbsp;on it&nbsp;or&nbsp;having detailed adult conversations in front of younger&nbsp;students. However, be available to&nbsp;answer questions to the best of your ability. Young&nbsp;students&nbsp;may not be able to express themselves verbally. Pay attention to changes in their&nbsp;behaviour&nbsp;or social interactions.&nbsp;</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">For some, limiting exposure to media coverage&nbsp;or other sources of information&nbsp;may be important,&nbsp;particularly when&nbsp;social media&nbsp;platforms&nbsp;contain&nbsp;significant amounts of&nbsp;misinformation&nbsp;or disinformation. Images of a&nbsp;horrific event&nbsp;can&nbsp;become overwhelming, especially if watched repetitively. Young&nbsp;students&nbsp;may not be able to distinguish between images on television&nbsp;or their&nbsp;screen,&nbsp;and their personal reality.&nbsp;For older&nbsp;students who&nbsp;choose to watch the news&nbsp;or&nbsp;scroll&nbsp;social media&nbsp;stories&nbsp;related to&nbsp;the event,&nbsp;be available to discuss what they see and to help put it into perspective.&nbsp;</span></li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Be aware of your own needs. Do not ignore your own feelings of anxiety and concern or anger. Talking to friends, family members, and mental health counsellors can help. You will be better able to support&nbsp;others&nbsp;if you can express your own emotions in a productive manner.&nbsp;</span></li></ul><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition, community supports and resources are available:&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem" style="text-align: start;"><a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftrack.spe.schoolmessenger.com%2Ff%2Fa%2F5dtj2RpKyWZVMFip7eilAg~~%2FAAAAARA~%2FAhbXHyCLOOtfzcyagEZuGKPLbV5K-tlSWExqTmCL9-NVHVXd5eNYIKPxB8LGeEHouRZa2lvNZ1rO5TreJ7ri-UP7lxBJGi8V600JPmsZCBQkGsmS2uYlqi57IsFtWQki4gqwYIYAWuGuphCTy3wTmUSdDqaCRDgUxId5Uo6sZ2R_Gd8xfoLplCx5s2_bp68vOlgOv7CA2h3n9lyUcaj26A~~&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cgrangea%40limestone.on.ca%7C1dd4b994643e4a1f80be08de698eb5e8%7Ce1f4165febae4d82a73ca0de593830be%7C0%7C0%7C639064258884292586%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=qfUtl3ogntDAI3yxWjmDmIvm79eSfhc0xUDxYtAllIk%3D&amp;reserved=0" title="Original URL: http://track.spe.schoolmessenger.com/f/a/5dtj2RpKyWZVMFip7eilAg~~/AAAAARA~/AhbXHyCLOOtfzcyagEZuGKPLbV5K-tlSWExqTmCL9-NVHVXd5eNYIKPxB8LGeEHouRZa2lvNZ1rO5TreJ7ri-UP7lxBJGi8V600JPmsZCBQkGsmS2uYlqi57IsFtWQki4gqwYIYAWuGuphCTy3wTmUSdDqaCRDgUxId5Uo6sZ2R_Gd8xfoLplCx5s2_bp68vOlgOv7CA2h3n9lyUcaj26A~~.
