Updates: March 17th
PVAEC (Dover Foxcroft) has announced that they are closed at least through March 27, therefore the Substitute Teacher Workshop on March 19 is not going to be held. While the March 31 Suicide Prevention Workshop does not fall into this time frame, I would suggest it be considered “tentative.”
MSAD 53 (Pittsfield) is also closed through March 27 which suggests the Substitute Teacher Workshop on March 24/26 is postponed. The April 7 Suicide Prevention Workshop should also be considered “tentative” but not officially canceled or postponed.
Real Estate Licensing Courses–I hope to have additional information later this morning.
With the closing of area school districts, most Adult Education Workshops (Substitute Teacher and Suicide Prevention) will likely be postponed or canceled. I will be confirming that over the next several days and post the results. If you need an immediate answer, check with the sponsoring Adult Ed Program.
At this point in time, scheduled Real Estate Licensing Courses will be held but understand things can change quickly in this very fluid situation.
Be smart and be safe… we certainly don’t know all the answers–for that matter, we don’t yet know all the questions–but let’s have some confidence in ourselves!
I’ll repeat my request that we check on and talk to kids about this! I heard someone say she wasn’t going to talk to her children about COVID-19 because she “didn’t want to scare them.” I’ll bet they are already scared.
In addition to my previous post, here’s a link to a great article to a child who is anxious. While it was written specifically with special needs children in mind, it really can apply to any!
While we are busy disinfecting let’s not forget the importance of emotional hygiene!
