Dear BF Community,
It is with great sadness that I share the news of the tragic loss Saturday night of 8th grader Alex Modlin.
Any time we lose a student we are deeply saddened and the news affects the entire BF Community. Adolescents deal with
tragedy in different ways. We encourage you to speak with your children about this news, and to answer questions according to
your own family beliefs.
We will have our Crisis Response Team available throughout the day and week for our students. In addition, if you have
particular concerns after speaking to your child, please email your child’s guidance counselor. Attached are some talking points
for parents to use when speaking to children about loss.
We will be cancelling the state PARCC testing for tomorrow, and students will report to homeroom to begin the day.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Alex Modlin. Please join us in keeping Alex’s family in your thoughts and prayers.
