Hey, guys.

Hey, guys. I wanted to apologize for the timing of my last Remind message. Earlier today, long before the shooting, I programmed the message to go out to you at 7:30. I know about what's happened on campus, and I know it's a scary situation. Some little quiz in my class is nowhere near as important as our safety as a campus community. If you need some help processing what has happened, your teachers and counselors are always here for you. Have a safe night, everyone.
