We are aware that the current deployment involving members of the 148th Fighter Wing is affecting students and families throughout our region, including members of our Proctor Public Schools community.
The men and women who serve our country are heroes, and we are incredibly grateful for their service and sacrifice. We also recognize that the families who remain at home during a deployment are heroes, too. Spouses, children, parents, and loved ones carry their own sacrifices, worries, and responsibilities while someone they love is serving away from home.
For our students, having a parent or loved one deployed can bring many different emotions and challenges. As a school district, we want our military-connected students and families to know that you are not alone, and we are here to support you.
If your family is affected by this deployment, please reach out and let us know. Even if your student seems to be doing well, knowing about the deployment allows our staff to be more aware, understanding, and responsive should your child need some additional encouragement or support in the weeks and months ahead. We also want to help connect families with resources and assistance whenever we can.
Please contact the appropriate staff member for your student’s school:
Proctor High School/Jedlicka Middle School: Leah Berg - 218-520-3201 - lberg@proctor.k1.2.mn.us
Bay View Elementary: Heather Hanson - 218-628-4949 ext. 2000 - hhanson@proctor.k1.2.mn.us
Pike Lake Elementary: Kris Weiler - 218-524-9803 - kweiler@proctor.k12.mn.us
We understand that every family experiences deployment differently, and we will respect the privacy of the information you share with us.
To the members of the 148th Fighter Wing who are serving, thank you for your service. To the spouses, children, parents, and loved ones supporting them from home, thank you for your sacrifice, strength, and service as well.
Our Proctor community takes care of one another. During this deployment, we want every military family in our district to know that your Rail family is here for you.
