Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! I am so excited to be back with our students, faculty, staff, and community. Just like any change, returning to school can create worry and anxiety for children and teens. Children may be wondering, "What if I don't fit in?", "Who will I sit with at lunch?", "Will any of my friends be in my class?". These questions and more may pop up before or during the first weeks of school.
The article Helping Your Child Cope with Back-to-School Anxiety linked here provides some great tips for helping parents talk about and work through these worries with their children.
