PWCS acknowledges the extensive impact on students, families amidst ongoing global challenges
During times of crisis, the pain and adversity experienced by individuals and communities are profoundly distressing. We acknowledge that students may come across troublesome information on social media and other channels. Our school-based mental health and health professionals stand ready to support students and families as we continue to navigate world events that impact many in different ways. Additionally, we encourage you to use this resource from the National Association of School Psychologists to guide and facilitate discussions surrounding the sensitive topics linked to world crises, which can evoke strong emotions.
If you believe that your student's response to global crises and violence is affecting their learning, please don't hesitate to contact your student's teacher or school counselor.
 Join PWCS in showing your support for maintaining a drug-free school and community. Participate in Red Ribbon Week activities and wear red on Thursday, October 26. Learn more on the Red Ribbon Week webpage.
