Superintendent's Update

Dear Needham Public Schools Families: Earlier today I notified High Rock School families that a High Rock teacher was arrested on child pornography charges and faced arraignment in Framingham District Court this afternoon. Please read this statement to the community <https://drive.google.com/file/d/11FnYFBxwucuU56LJnN-TdEIBLVToPROb/view?usp=…> for more information. I want to reassure families that the police are not aware of any High Rock or Needham Public Schools students’ wellbeing or safety being in jeopardy. In the week ahead the staff at High Rock School, led by Principal Jessica Downey, will provide additional updates and information, including how we will support our 6th grade students and staff as they come to learn about and understand this disturbing news. Should your child, who may learn about this news, require any support or guidance upon returning to school next week, please let your school principal or guidance counselor know. Respectfully, Dan Gutekanst Superintendent of Schools Needham Public Schools 1330 Highland Avenue, Needham, MA 02492 *He/His/Him* 781-455-0400 x11203 dan_gutekanst(a)needham.k12.ma.us ATTENTION: If you speak a language other than English, language assistance services are available to you free of charge.
