Description

Press release from the Newton South High School PTSO: January 8, 2021 Dear Families, "This morning we gathered as a faculty to discuss the attack on the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C. and how best to address all of our students' varied needs and concerns. As a school, we encouraged staff, at their discretion, to create a space for all of our students to share their thoughts and feelings regarding this event. In our history classes, teachers taught lessons putting the attack into historical context while providing a civics lesson. The South Human Rights Council also hosted open lunch forums for students and staff. As always, when significant events occur, counselors were available as a support for your students. Here is a copy of a video that was shared with your students this afternoon." Best, Mark Aronson NSHS Interim Principal This press release was produced by the Newtown South High School Parent Teacher Student Organization. The views expressed here are the author's own.
