​We continue to move along with our school year, very impressed with our students willingness to work within the safety guidelines in place. One question that has been asked is around how will we support the mental well-being of students?
We have created a homeroom block period that every student will have 4 days a week. During this time students will have the opportunity to voice their concerns, talk about their fears, learn how to deal with anxiety as well as a variety of other important topics to support their mental health. We will try to provide strategies for them to cope with our new world. They will be given opportunites to refine their peer to peer relationships and help one another. The block of time will allow them to build positive relationships with one another and their teacher. 
We recognize that many of our students are experiencing anxiety and fear around the unknown, and we are here to support them in anyway we can. If you as a parent feel your child may need more support please contact Mrs. Twa and/or Mr. Weeks. They would be happy to discuss other possibilities with you. Please remember, we are not health care professionals, but we are good listeners and can provide resources.
