We recognize that this devastating news has profoundly affected our entire school community. Our hearts go out to Diego's family, friends, and loved ones during this unimaginably difficult time. It is crucial that we come together as a community to provide support and solace to those who are grieving.
To ensure that everyone receives the assistance and guidance they need, the Chicago Public Schools Crisis Team will be working closely with us. If you require support or have any concerns, please reach out to any member of the school administration. We are here for you.
In response to this tragedy, we are actively collaborating with our community outreach connections to develop a peace walk initiative. Our aim is to establish safe passages for our students, fostering an environment of security and unity. We firmly believe that by joining forces, we can make a meaningful impact and promote a sense of peace within our community.
Let us honor Diego's memory by embracing one another with compassion and kindness. Together, we can navigate this challenging time and emerge stronger as a united IHSCA community. During this difficult period, it is important that we respect the family's privacy and allow them the space to grieve.
With heartfelt condolences,
IHSCA Administration
