Sept. 18 Site Council mtg. Dear Glencoe Families and Community, I am certain that all of you are profoundly saddened by the events in our nation in the past 24 hours. As parents and teachers, we wonder how to talk with our children or just exactly what are the right words we use to talk with the children. Each family will need to talk with their students as they feel it is appropriate. Children and grownups alike process such events in different ways.
Children are often the first ones to offer help and support to others in a crisis.
On Tuesday morning as we learned of the national tragedy, the Glencoe Leadership Team met to plan for added alertness and security in and around Glencoe. We have a very detailed emergency plan for Glencoe and the plan was reviewed with staff before the day began. You may find this web address helpful in the future. Teachers talked with students at their level of readiness. As I visited classrooms, teachers and students were engaged in good discussions about the concerns and the location of the events.
