[QUOTE]Thomas S. Wootton High School opened Tuesday to provide mental health support for students one day after a 16-year-old student allegedly shot and injured another 16-year-old student Monday afternoon at the Rockville school, according to a Tuesday statement from school officials.

“Today is not about academics or returning to ‘normal’. It is about ensuring that students and staff have access to mental health supports, trusted adults, and one another,” said a Tuesday morning letter from Wootton High Principal Joseph Bostic and Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Superintendent Thomas Taylor. “Throughout the day, counselors, social workers, psychologists, and administrators are available to listen, to support, and to help students process what they are feeling—at their own pace and in their own way.”

In response to the shooting, two community meetings will be held for Wootton families at 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday at the school located at 2100 Wootton Parkway to “provide families with information about how today unfolded [and] the actions taken to support students and staff,” according to the letter.

“This will NOT be a Town Hall format with an extensive question and answer period. That work is being led by the Rockville City Police Department and is outside the school system’s role and authority,” the letter said. “There is much that we don’t know about the circumstances of what happened and we are working with police during their active investigation.” [/QUOTE][/quote]
