Parents and guardians are all too familiar with the ways our students experience pandemic stresses. Help is available, as you’ll find out if you view the 17-minute presentation, “Wellness in a Time of Virtual Learning.” It was created for the October PTSA Community Meeting by members of our school’s Counseling Team and the Kaiser Permanente Wellness Center. (Thank you!)
