Many of you are aware of the senseless tragedy that took place at Michigan State University (MSU) that resulted in the loss of life, along with numerous injuries. During this difficult time, our thoughts remain with MSU students, and staff as well as our many families in Northville connected to MSU.
We understand news of this nature can be difficult for parents and students, as well as for our staff. Please know that your student’s safety and well-being remain our number one priority. Like all school districts, Northville Public Schools is committed to creating a safe school environment where students can learn and grow.
Your children are our children, and we will continue to do everything in our control to maintain safety in our schools. Our school counselors and mental health professionals stand ready to support you during this time. Additionally, here are resources to help you discuss this with your children:
