Helping children manage distress in the aftermath
of a tragedy 

California State PTA offers its condolences and deepest sympathy to the families and school community for the tragic loss today in Newtown, Connecticut.  Our hearts go out to all for this terrible loss.  At this time of tragedy, children throughout our country may be struggling with their thoughts and feelings about the stories and images and they may turn to adults for help and guidance.  PTA has many resources available to assist students, families, schools and PTAs in coping with school violence.  Additional resources regarding media exposure and traumatic events maybe found online.

Media Exposure and Traumatic Events

In Central School District we are continually looking for ways to improve our programs and practices to ensure high levels of learning for all children.  Over the last couple of years, we have worked to develop collaborative teams of teachers throughout our district whose members work interdependently to achieve common goals of learning for all students.  These professional learning communities meet weekly to clarify what students must learn, monitor students’ learning, plan interventions for students when they struggle, and extend learning when students have already mastered the intended outcomes.

While minimum day Wednesdays at our elementary schools have provided collaboration time for our K-5 teachers, finding time for collaboration at our middle schools has been challenging.  For this reason, we would like to inform you that next year our middle schools will implement a “late start” schedule on Friday mornings to provide time for teacher collaboration.  As you may know, our high school district has successfully implemented a “late start” Friday for several years now.

For the 2012-13 school year, the dismissal time on Monday through Friday will change from the current time of 2:25 p.m. to 2:36 p.m.  This change in dismissal time allows us to maintain our current number of instructional minutes.
