Dear Methacton Families,

News of the COVID-19 crisis in India is weighing heavily on the hearts and minds of many in our community and across the world. During challenging times like these, it is important for you remember that the school district has resources available for students and families who may need some extra support. You are always welcome to reach out to your school counselor. We have also included a list of informational resources that may help you during conversations with your child:

• The National Grief Center for Children & Families: Supporting Children and Teens When Someone Dies of COVID-19
• National Alliance for Grieving Children: Resources in Response to COVID-19
• National Association of School Psychologists: Helping Children Cope With Changes Resulting From COVID-19

Sincerely,

Dr. David Zerbe
Superintendent of Schools
