Hello All,

With the recent uncertainty and school closings, we have prepared the following plan for students to contact us. Students who are in crisis or are "at risk" that may need to speak with us will be able to do so through Google Hangouts. We ask those students to reach out to us through email and we will set up a time for a "hangout". We feel that this will ease some of the anxiety of being away from the building and not having access to our normal "check-ins" and we will still be able to communicate. We just wanted to let you all know that we do have a plan in place to continue to be available for our students.
