Hello Parents  

Here are some great resources to tap into during this time of school closures.  

I know you are getting resources from teachers, the district and other sources, I am sure it can be a little overwhelming. 

These resources are more focused on support with social emotional learning (SEL) and recreation.

Please email me at yesenia.baker@alvordschools.org if you have any questions or are looking for support on a topic not shown.
