A Reminder to Parents and Guardians

It’s okay to be concerned right now. It’s okay to be concerned about your child falling behind academically as well as their safety. Just remember this, our expectations of where a child should be academically were designed by US, and they are unrealistic for many. Our physical AND mental health and safety is priority right now, which is what my focus will be once schools open. If we don’t make this the focus, then students will have an even more difficult time focusing on their academic futures.

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

It’s okay to not be okay. Don’t feel that you have to be more productive than you’ve ever been during this time. You don’t have to start a new project or a new business. You don’t have to be on Zoom every night just because people expect that you’re going to be free now no matter what. It’s okay if you’re simply not up for it. It’s okay if you need to take a step back and finally get a moment or two of stillness. Your mind, body and spirit needs to heal
