Good afternoon, TES Families,
I write to you today with a very heavy heart. Early Friday evening, we were made aware that a member of our TES family, our technology specialist, Darrell Tinsley, was involved in a serious car accident. Tragically, Mr. Tinsley passed away as a result of the accident.
Mr. Tinsley’s passing is an emotional loss for our entire Trevilians family. As a technology specialist, he impacted the lives of all our staff, and along with that, all of our students in grades PK-5. He was an invaluable resource to our staff, and he made strong connections with many of our TES Eagles. His passion for helping others and doing so with a positive attitude will be missed by all.
We encourage each of you to discuss this loss with your child as much as you feel is appropriate. If you feel that your child would benefit from talking with our school counselor or our school psychologist, please call us at the school at (540) 967-1108. You can also email us at [email protected]. Please also encourage your students to talk to adults (at home or school) and not other students about this information to avoid potentially upsetting other students who handle grief in their own way.
All members of TES extend our heartfelt sympathies to Mr. Tinsley and his family. Please continue to keep the Tinsley family in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Thank you.
