NAMS Message to Families 9/20/24

Good afternoon NAMS Families,

I hope that this message finds you well. I wanted to thank all of our students, staff, families, and district leadership for your support this past week. 

I wanted to provide you with the resources shared in previous messages to support you and your family. These helpful resources are from Care Solace and offer guidance on how to talk to children about difficult news:

• What to say to kids when the news is scary (NPR)

• Talking with children about difficult things in the news (Fred Rogers Institute)

• Helping Children with Tragic Events in the News (PBS)

• Helping Children Cope with Frightening News (Child Mind Institute)

• An Age-by-Age Guide to Talking to Children About Mass Shootings (The New York Times)

If your child or family needs additional help outside of school hours, Care Solace is a valuable resource that can connect you with further services.

This week’s message is ready for your review here. In this week’s message, you will find the following information:

• Are you receiving messages from the school?
