Osseo Area Schools ISD 279: Supporting Our Families And Staff In A Time Of International Conflict

Press release from the Osseo Area Schools ISD 279:

March 2, 2022

Late last week, Russian forces invaded the country of Ukraine. We are extremely troubled by this escalating conflict, and wanted to reach out to collectively support our school communities, but especially our Ukrainian families, and all others impacted, including those who serve in the military.

One of our district’s strategic directions is to create safe, welcoming and inclusive learning environments that foster global curiosity, belonging, innovation and engagement. Much of our everyday work is centered around this so that our scholars achieve their dreams and engage in a lifetime of learning.

We are here to support you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if your family is in need of any help as you navigate this challenging time. This is also a great resource for parents/caregivers to review: How to talk to kids about violence, crime, and war.

Our thoughts are with each and every one of you. In this time and always, Osseo Area Schools is united and will support and care for one another.
