Support is available to our students & parents
-
Sadly, we are often faced with tragedies or crises, whether national, local, or personal, that directly or indirectly affect students, faculty, staff, and their families. As a District, we realize that everyone approaches and handles grief or crises in different ways. While respecting those who wish to handle their feelings privately, we want to extend a helping hand to assist those who may want and/or need some support. Please feel free to call any of the professionals listed in the Family Support Directory if you would like support for you and/or your child during any difficult time you may encounter.
