Details are emerging about a 16-year-old boy fatally shot in Scarborough's Oakridge neighbourhood early Monday morning.
Crisis teams will be on hand on Tuesday to meet with students and staff at Scarborough's École secondaire catholique Père-Philippe-Lamarche after one of its students was fatally shot, the board says.
“It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of a PPL student last night under tragic circumstances. This death affects the entire school community,” she wrote. “Individual and group meetings will take place and, as needed, will continue over the next few days to provide any assistance required in these difficult circumstances,” she said.
“That's why we thought it was important to inform you so that you can give your child all the attention he needs: take the time to listen to him and reassure him, so that life can get back to normal,” Mollot said, adding that the school’s management team is available to direct anyone who is concerned about their child’s behaviour or reaction to the student’s death to “appropriate services.
