Tragedy and Children

In light of the recent CT. elementary school shootings, we would like to point all of our parents to these fantastic links that may help your family cope with the tragedy and loss. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the families on Newton who have suffered such a loss. 

We would also like to state that we will not, as a school, be discussing the event with our preschool or elementary school children formally. If any children have any questions related to the event, we will be happy to answer to the best of our ability or refer them to parents or school counselors. We believe that such a sensitive issue is something that should be discussed in the comfort of the child's home and at the discretion of each family. If we can be of any service to your family during this time, please let us know.
