The Hermiston School District has been notified of the death of a West Park Elementary School student.

The district issued the following statement this morning:

This is a difficult day for our staff and students. When things like this happen, everyone reacts differently, including sadness, fear, and anger. A safe room will be set up with members of the crisis flight team to assist students and staff when they return after break. The room is a space to talk with a support professional or have time alone to think about the impact of this tragedy.

The district asks for parent and community support by keeping an eye out for those students, or staff members, who may be struggling with the news. If a student is struggling with the news, counselors are available to provide emotional support.

We are heartbroken for the affected families. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them and the friends of the student.
