Dear Davis County Families,
With profound sadness, we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Elias Steffen, beloved son of Kyle and TaNisha and cherished brother of Everleigh and Leo. As many of you know, the Steffen family has faced an incredibly difficult journey with Elias’s health. After exhausting all possible options, they have had to say goodbye to their beloved son and brother.
There are no words to fully express the depth of this loss, and our hearts go out to the Steffen family during this unimaginable time. As a school community, we know that grief touches each of us differently, and our children may have questions or emotions they struggle to understand.
If you are looking for ways to support your child in processing this loss, here are a few suggestions:
- Use simple, honest, and age-appropriate language.
- Encourage them to ask questions and answer as best you can.
- Let them know their feelings—whether sadness, confusion, or even anger—are normal and valid.
- Remind them they are not alone, and that our school community is here to support them.
Our school counselors and staff are available to support both students and families during this difficult time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you or your child need guidance or a listening ear.
Out of respect for the Steffen family’s privacy, we kindly ask that everyone allow them the space they need as they navigate this heartbreaking loss. In particular, we ask that students refrain from asking the family about Elias's passing while at school. School can be a place of comfort and routine for them, and giving them the opportunity to engage in their day without difficult conversations will be an important part of their healing. Your quiet support, thoughts, and prayers mean so much to them.
In the days ahead, let’s continue to come together as a community, offering love, strength, and compassion to one another.
DC Elementary Parents! Thursday, March 13th is a 12:30 early dismissal.
