Resources to Support Children
Following the 2016 Presidential election, we have had requests from teachers and parents regarding resources for talking with children who may be experiencing anxiety. Some important tips--
1. All of the adults at school are here to support you--school is a safe place to express your concerns.
2. Our school and district stands for peace and justice for all and we teach these concepts to the students
3. We will not tolerate bullying in any form--please report any instances immediately to the teachers and principal
4. Our government has a system of checks and balances and we must trust our elected officials to do the right thing and not allow institutionalized forms of bullying.
Below are some online resources to support these discussions:
