"HANDLE WITH CARE" - if your family is experiencing difficulty at home, we would like to provide additional support at school. We understand that you are not always able to share details and that's ok. If your child is coming to school after a difficult night, morning or weekend, please text "Handle with Care" to 925-272-9639. Nothing else will be said or asked. This will let us know that your child may need extra time, patience or help during the day.
