While it is normal to be curious, it is right to keep a child's privacy. The principal said no danger. Drop it. Your child will hear through the grapevine anyway.

Completely agree. It didn’t involve other students, nor was a danger to anyone, as the principal says in an email that shouldn’t have been shared here.

How often does a FCPS principal sent out an email like this?

What parent wouldn’t be stressed after getting a message like this?

Why would you be stressed? A child had a medical emergency, and your child is okay. The principal probably had to send this out so that when your child comes home and says “there shouting to call 911 and then there was a siren and ambulance and then we heard someone in the hallways…” you will know it wasn’t an active shooter or something.

These people are just plain nosy and this incident had absolutely nothing to do with their child.

To the PP, Stressed? Because your student may or may not heard a noise in the hallway? That their learning was temporarily disrupted? What on earth made you stressed?

Good, privacy protocols are working.

Stressed for what reason? It didn't involve your child.

I'm going with an overdose

Its likely a medical emergency. As a parent of a child who has violent seizures, I ask you to respect the privacy as you were asked.

It appears it was sent to entire school. The subject was “Important Information.”

Fairfax High School
September 13, 2023

Dear Families:

Earlier today, there was an emergency response at the school for a student requiring assistance. There was no danger to other students, but there was some noise that caused a disruption to learning for several moments. Out of respect for the student’s privacy, I will not be sharing further information. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out.

Regards,

Georgina Aye
Proud Principal of Fairfax High School

Was this email sent to parents if aspecific class? Specific grade? Or the whole school?

Texted with my student and she knows nothing about it

keep us updated

Parents of Fairfax HS students - Do you know what the "disruption" was today, mentioned in the email from Principal Aye? Email said a student "required assistance" and there was noise and "disruption." No further information provided. I will check with my student, but wondered if anyone else knew? Thx
