Below is a message from Superintendent Dr. Eric Wright that was sent to parents, students and staff.

Dear Hays CISD Family,

I share with you, our friends and neighbors in Uvalde, and people all over the world, the incredible sorrow and abject anger that this could and did happen again. I don’t know if we will ever truly understand what could possibly make someone want to kill innocent children and at a place that is supposed to bring them great joy and excitement.

This is not the end-of-year ...
