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.
