Dear Pinello Families,
Hope that when you read this email you are all taking good care of yourselves. We understand that you and child(ren) may be experiencing stress and anxiety during this challenging time. For this reason, I wanted to share some online resources that may provide helpful tips and reminders.
The National Association of School Psychologists has tips on its website when talking to your child(ren) about COVID-19.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has resources and guidance on stress and coping and the following Conscious Discipline website also provides great support with Parenting strategies
Pikes Peak United Way 2-1-1 provides referrals for: food, housing, utilities, home repair, emergency shelter, clothing, transportation, military assistance, taxes, mental health, senior issues, substance abuse, medical care and more.
Very soon, I will be sending information to teachers to transfer to you about other counseling services (i.e. videos, lessons, and check in times) that I can provide during this time period.
I check my email frequently so feel free to contact me through email monsond@wsd3.org with any other questions and concerns. The Pinello staff and I are committed to supporting you and your family.

Pinello Elementary School Counselor
