Guilford Public Schools Provides Parents and Staff with Resources on Talking to Children about Violence

After the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Guilford Public Schools sent a message Friday afternoon to reassure parents that all their security measures were in place at all of the schools.

They also distributed a document from the National Association of School Psychologists to all parents and staff. The document is entitled “Talking to Your Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers.” It focuses specifically on school violence. The document is also available on the school's website, along with this message: 

In light of the tragic events in Newtown, CT we have posted a resource from the National Association of School Psychologists. Please access this link for helpful information on talking to your children about violence, particularly in schools.

The information is also available by clicking on the PDF of the document featured with this article. 

Thanks to Lorri Haan, Communications Coordinator at Guilford Public Schools, for providing Guilford Patch with this information.
