Parents, we know you have a lot on your plates right now. And we’re working hard to try and provide you with a helpful, balanced amount of information and resources. Because we know sometimes more information isn’t better.<\/p>\n

Where there are specific topics to delve into more deeply (like around dealing with stress and anxiety, or updates on child care), we’ve created posts here in our COVID-19 Information Centre to help: https:\/\/newwestschools.ca\/archive_241212\/covid-19-info-centre\/<\/a><\/p>\n

That said, sometimes we know you’re looking for more information and can’t remember where you saw it. We’ll update this post regularly with links, downloads and tip sheets so you have one place to look for the most relevant resources and tools you might need.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
