Newcastle Elementary

Dear Families,

As I so often have said to my students, “My oh my, it’s a good thing we’re flexible!” Change seems to be what we can be certain of these days, and sometimes it can be hard to bend and twist to keep up with it all. Especially for the smallest among us. You will find some resources below for helping our children cope with change. Sending the calmest of thoughts to you all during these wild times.
