Dear Canton Public School Families,

We wanted to take a minute and help our families support their children around COVID-19. Developmentally, students process information differently, so we have shared this link to provide some ideas on how to talk with your children about COVID-19 in ways that are honest yet reassuring. The below link is a detailed article from the National Association of School Psychologists on how to talk to children about COVID-19.  Please know that you can always reach out to your child's guidance counselor, adjustment counselor, or the school psychologist in addition to your child's teacher.
