Speaking to Children After a School Shooting
School District Families,
The news about the school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, has had a sad and profound impact, not just on that local community, but across this country. Oftentimes, events like this, can bring up mixed or strong emotions in our own community and within our students.
As our school year comes to a close, we want to provide you with some resources that may assist you in navigating difficult conversations with your children about this event. In addition, there are some pointers to help you manage distress and how to access other helpful resources.
