Parents, We had a phenomenal speaker for teacher PIR day before school started and she shared how to use techniques that will help students regulate behaviors and emotions from trauma. She shared a parent link with me and I am sharing it with you as many parents have requested something that could be used at home as well as they have heard wonderful things about the training...this is the link... https://www.gobeyou.org/offers/5pMj9z3w If it ends up not being clickable, just copy it into your browser box and it should work.
