HANDLE WITH CARE If your family is experiencing difficulties at home, I would like to provide additional support at school. I understand that you are not always able to share details and that’s okay. If your child is coming to school after a difficult night, morning, or weekend, please text or email me “Handle with Care”. Nothing else will be said or asked. This will let me know that your child may need extra time, patience or help during the day. Jeannette Schorfheide: jschorfheide@lcusd9.org
