Dear Parents and Caregivers,

This is an extremely difficult time for our community and the communities surrounding us, and many families are experiencing profound suffering and grief as a result of this tragic event.  Even children who were not directly impacted by the recent floods may be suffering trauma because they have seen the destruction, the recovery efforts, and/or the news coverage.  

To assist you in talking to your children about the recent disaster, I wanted to suggest a few resources designed specifically for parents and caregivers.  

The CPISD counseling team is here to support you and your children.  Please contact the counseling team at 830-353-8129, bnewcomb@cpisd.net, or kschreckenbach@cpisd.net if we can provide additional support.
