Students Return to Normal At Elmwood School

While the Boston Marathon bombing and subsequent investigation occurred during school vacation weeks, schools in Hopkinton are still doing everything they can to provide help for students.

David Ljungberg, principal at the Elmwood School, sent a letter to parents yesterday outlining the schools response to the tragedy.

“First, teachers were all vigilant and mindful in bringing back as much routine and structure as was possible after the [April] break,” Ljungberg said. “Teachers were told not to broach the topic of the marathon events. I instead asked teachers to direct students who brought up questions of concerns to ask their parents at home in a safer, more private environment.”

Ljungberg and Assistant Principal Timothy Kearnan both cleared their schedules to visit classrooms throughout the day. They’ve also made sure to discuss proper responses with all faculty and staff.
