With COVID impacting our lives, this can stir up a lot of feelings: scary, alarming, lonely, weird, anxious. Like all the tough stuff in life, it can be complicated! We want you to know that we are in this TOGETHER! By working together, we can reduce the worry that surrounds the COVID-19 virus. Together is better. We will do everything we can to provide your student with care and support during this time.
Below are some of the ways that I will support your student at home (virtual learners) and in school:
