Dear Parents:
Many of you are aware of the school shooting in Parkland Florida on February 14, 2018. As educators and as parents, it is difficult to comprehend such a catastrophic event. We feel closely connected to the children, teachers, families and community who were so devastated by this loss of innocent lives.
As we keep this community in our thoughts and prayers, let us keep in mind that many children have been exposed to the reports of this event. I am sharing resources from the National Child Stress Network on talking to children about the shooting and guidelines to help limit the media impact that have been provided by the Burlington County Health Department.
As always the security, safety, and well-being of our children is our top priority. If you are concerned about your child or feel he or she needs additional support, please contact the school.
Sincerely,
Christine Vespe, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
