14 – COVID-19 Update – April 28 – Pupil Services Update

Dear Parents/Guardians:  

As we continue on in this virtual educational world, the Pupil Services Team wants to reach out to continue to let families and students know we are all here for you!  If you reach out, team members will get back to you (parents and/or students) as soon as they can within “regular” school hours.  The team also wanted to share some resources to support student and family social-emotional wellness during this time. See resources listed below.
