Sandoval families,

Welcome back to a new school year! I hope your families are safe and healthy. There is no doubt we are experiencing trying times within our community and the larger world. With extra stress and uncertainty comes feelings of loss/grief and anxiety. It is more important than ever to make sure we are taking care of our physical and mental health and that of our children’s.

At Sandoval, we are incorporating social and emotional learning (SEL) into our every day contact with students. I continue to utilize and update my “Psych Corner” website with helpful resources for you and your families. In the website, you will find guidance for how to incorporate social and emotional learning in your home as well as community resources if you are looking for extra support. You can also contact me directly with specific question and/or concerns you may have. Stay safe and healthy!
