Wayland High School freshman takes own life

The Wayland community this morning is mourning the death of Wayland High School freshman Dailyce Parm, who took her own life Thursday evening.

New Life Church posted a video of a fellow student and two men praying for healing in the wake of the suicide tragedy.

Supt. Tim Reeves posted a letter to students, parents and the community, extending sympathies and commented, “We know this news will affect our students and staff in different ways. Members of our guidance staff and social work team will be available today, Friday, April 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the high school media center to provide a safe and supportive space for any students who may need time, space or someone to talk to as they process this loss.”

The superintendent addressed the following to parents and guardians, “We encourage you to check in with your child in the coming days. Conversations at home can play an important role in helping students navigate grief. Each child may respond differently, and it is important to provide reassurance, listen openly and offer consistent support.”

He added that students who need more help can call 988.

Service arrangements for the student are likely to be forthcoming.
