Newberg School District staff members are shocked and saddened at the death of Kevin Hall, child development specialist at Dundee and Ewing Young Elementary Schools.  Kevin died unexpectedly early Sunday morning. He worked for the school district in elementary and middle schools in a counseling role for 15 years.

Support rooms will be open to parents, students, staff and community members on Tuesday and Wednesday. School counselors will be on hand from 3-6 p.m. on Tuesday in the Dundee Elementary cafeteria and at Ewing Young Elementary library from 3-6 p.m. on Wednesday.

“Kevin touched the lives of many students and colleagues he worked with,” said Superintendent Kym LeBlanc-Esparza. “His passing leaves a void in our school community. It is ironic that it was Kevin that we turned to for leadership in supporting others in crisis.”

Information about services is not known at this time. Condolences for Kevin’s family can be sent in care of the school district office, 714 E. Sixth, Newberg.

Resources for dealing with grief and loss can be found on the school district website.
