Please read the following notice from the Superintendent:
To Our Wildcat Family,
It is with deep regret that we inform you about a recent loss to our school community. On Monday, September 5, Gemini Howle, an 8th grader at Rains Junior High passed away. This loss is sure to raise many emotions and concerns for our entire school, especially our students.
We are providing psychologists, counselors, ministers, and extra staff to assist students and teachers as we make our way through this difficult time. Students may exhibit all levels of emotions, ranging from crying, numbness, and feelings of despair, to simply wanting to be close to family and friends. All are normal responses. If you would like additional information or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to campus counselors.
We are saddened by the loss to our school community and will make every effort to help our students, staff, and community as needed.
In sympathy,
Jennifer Johnson
