Handle With Care

Handle with Care is an initiative to support students who have experienced a difficult situation. Without interrupting the student’s daily schedule, Handle with Care alerts the necessary staff to provide extra support for your student’s academic, social, and emotional needs throughout the school day. We understand that you may choose not to share specific details of the situation, and we respect your family’s privacy. If your student is returning to school on a day following a difficult weekend, evening, or morning, please contact their teacher or our school office and use the phrase "Handle with Care". This phrase will let us know that your student may be in need of some extra patience, support, and understanding that day. We will notify any staff as needed. Example reasons to send a Handle with Care message include the illness of a family member, death of a family pet, a rough morning before school, or challenging news like moving to a new home. Here is how a Handle with Care message may go: Jane Doe is 3rd grade. Please handle with care.
