Our school district community is grieving the passing of two students following a tragic fire on Saturday in Lancaster.
McCaskey senior Anna Leavitt passed away on Saturday and her sister, Reynolds eighth-grader Ariana Leavitt, passed away early Monday morning. We send our sincerest condolences to their family and friends.
Our District will be opening schools on Monday, Jan. 2, to offer support for staff. In addition, counselors will be available to students and staff upon their return to school on January 3.
In the days to come, our crisis support team will remain engaged to provide support to both students and staff as needed. We ask that you keep all those affected by this heartbreaking tragedy in your thoughts and prayers.
