I hope you and your family are well and staying healthy during this time of the coronavirus pandemic. Please remember that the USD460 administration is looking out for the best interests of our community, students, and staff to prevent any community spread or diagnosis of the virus in our area. While we transition to online/distance learning, I want you to remember that I am here to support you and your family the best I can.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if your child needs help or support during this time. As a school counselor, I care about your child’s well-being and know this pandemic hitting our country is affecting each family’s daily routines, mental health and outlook on our future as of now.

Below you will find some ways you can talk to your child about the Coronavirus. I am including a few age-appropriate links to videos and social emotional resources. The Yucky Bug by Julia Cook is a great informational story and age appropriate story. I also highly recommend the Calming Coronavirus Anxiety podcast. This episode has very practical ideas for both adults and kids.
