Handle with care
If your family is experiencing difficulties at home, I would like to provide some additional support at school. I understand you may not always be able to provide details, and that’s OK. If your child is coming to school after a difficult morning, night or weekend, please email me at verna.broussard@vpsb.net with “handle with care - student name” in the subject line and I will make it a priority to check in on them
