To all staff, please be advised:

The new student, Kevin Ford, has come to the school under less-than-usual circumstances. From what we have been told by the authorities, he was responsible for the death of his father when his powers manifested.

I do not say this so that you will treat him any differently, of course, only to head off any awkward conversations that may arise from lack of knowledge. Kevin is a bright young man who will surely benefit from the guidance and stability he will find here, and I know each and every one of you will help contribute to that. Thank you, and if you have any further questions, please see Scott or myself.
