Dear Students and Families, We know that during this time of school closings and social distancing, many of us may be feeling an increase in stress and anxiety. I wanted to pass along this resource for students regarding Coronavirus. Sometimes, having more information helps to ease some anxiety! This resource also offers a few great coping strategies that students (and family) can use at home over these next two weeks. While our school is closed, I can be reached via e-mail at [email protected]. You may also call my school phone number at 773-534-7961. I will be checking voicemail regularly and will respond within 48 hours. Below you will find some resources should you need to access mental health services while schools are closed.

Should you need assistance with food while schools are closed, you may pick up food boxes at any CPS school between the hours of 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM Monday through Friday. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be using this platform to share information and activities that students and families can do while schools are closed. I would love to stay connected! Please feel free to leave a comment and share how your family is making the most of "social distancing." PS - One thing you may consider checking out are Lunch Doodles with author Mo Willems!
