Saugus High School students will be allowed on campus Tuesday for the first time since a gunman last week killed two classmates and injured three others.
Students were escorted from the campus after the attack by law enforcement and taken to a nearby park to be reunited with their families. Books, schoolwork and other items were left behind.
Mike Kuhlman, deputy superintendent for William S. Hart Union High School District, said students may pick up their belongings from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday.in the wake of the violence, but the school won’t be closed entirely. School administrators have organized events and activities to help students heal from the trauma, including two counseling sessions: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday and 10 a.m. to noon Thursday.
Kuhlman said school officials have sought guidance from leaders around the country who have experienced mass shootings. “It’s with a heavy heart that we approach this task,” he said in a statement. “We cannot lose sight of the fact that there are families in our community whose lives have been shattered by the events of this past week. Let us commit to caring for them — and for one another — as we take the first few steps toward healing and the resolution of positive daily routines for our children and loved ones.”
Students are not required to attend counseling sessions or other activities on campus while classes are canceled, officials said, but they are encouraged, as are family members. The district’s 15 other campuses reopened Monday.“Students choosing to come back to campus will be surrounded by law enforcement officers, mental health professionals, community members and friends offering love and encouragement,” Kuhlman said.
