The coronavirus outbreak has changed many things about our daily lives. But even during this uncertain time, it’s a sure thing that our children are still learning, growing, and developing.
Everyone can help support a child’s healthy development (and it may even help relieve your stress!). Just a few minutes and some simple, free activities can make a difference.

We understand that our students may feel additional stress and anxiety during this time of uncertainty, and we are committed to supporting the social and emotional needs of our students and families. Starting Monday, March 23rd, students or parents can request to speak with their school counselor by emailing their counselor. Email addresses are available at the bottom of this page.
School counselors will be available to respond to emails and appointments can be made to connect with a parent or student via phone if needed. Responses and appointments would occur during normal operating hours while schools remain closed.
Suicidal thoughts or behaviors are both damaging and dangerous and are therefore considered a psychiatric emergency. Someone experiencing these thoughts should seek immediate assistance from a health or mental health care provider. Click here for an additional list of available resources.
