Brentwood Elementary School

This morning we had to share with our students the sad news that over the weekend, our custodian, Mr. Wong, passed away after being quite ill over the summer. As you can imagine, this news will affect students, staff and families in many different ways. We have had our District Critical Incident Team, made up of District support and counselling staff in the school today, and will continue to have access to this support if needed,  in the days ahead. Students have been told how to access this support, whenever they feel it is needed.

Feel free to contact the school if you feel we need to know something about your child, or if you are wondering about the support we can provide.

We are in connection with the family and will let our community know about memorial plans as they are made. We will honour Mr. Wong within our school community in the next while and will communicate these plans as soon as possible.

We have a wonderful, supportive and caring community. I know you join us in sending our condolences to the Wong family. Together we will join together to support each other through this sad time.
