Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
Throughout the period of distant learning, I will be available by e-mail at
mroberts@twpunionschools.org during school hours for non-emergency correspondence. If your child is experiencing a mental health emergency or crisis, please contact the police, 911, or take your child to the nearest emergency room.
Your child may have questions, fears and/or worries regarding the current changes that have been implemented in our daily lives due to the pandemic. For that reason, I am sharing a link to an article I believe will be helpful in assisting you with planning for or perhaps spontaneously engaging in a conversation with your child:
Talking to Kids About the Coronavirus.
The following resources may be further helpful to you during this time:
The following is a link to a short Brain Pop video on COVID-19, which you may find appropriate for younger students who are trying to understand the disease and the national concern around it:
Brain Pop Coronavirus.
Additionally, elementary school counselors compiled counseling resources available for your use. You will find these resources here:
School Counseling Resources.
I am sending you all well wishes. Stay healthy and safe.
Best Regards,
Monika Roberts, M.A., SAC
School Counselor
