Helpful Information 

The following information is important to take into consideration during your time away from school.  We are here to assist them in any way we can.

During this difficult time, it is important to remember the following:

• take breaks
• get plenty of sleep
• exercise
• eat well
• stay connected to friends and family
• stay positive

• Take time to talk with them about the COVID-19 outbreak. Answer questions and share facts in a way that children can understand.
• Reassure our children that they are safe. Let them know it is okay if they feel upset. Share with them how we deal with our own stress so that they can learn how to cope from us.
• Limit our children’s exposure to media coverage. Children may misinterpret what they hear and can be frightened about something they do not understand.
• Help our children to maintain a sense of structure, especially for those young people whose schools have closed and extracurriculars have been put on hold.
