From the Principal

Hello, こんにちは, Kon'nichiwa Dear Richmond Community,

One more week of school before Winter Break, and we miss you already : )
While you are away from campus we hope that you will stay safe in all the ways and enjoy a restful and restorative time with loved ones. We continue to feel awed and thankful for the many layers of community support so generously offered to the school and one another. The collective trauma of this ongoing pandemic is an especially challenging context in which to experience and process incidents of violence and upsetting information coming at us from across the globe, country, city, and street. At school, we use all of our behavioral, emotional, and physical supports and tools to help our students feel and stay safe in our learning community. I’m sure that families are wrapping around our kiddos at home as well. If you’re looking for tips and other resources for talking to your children about what’s in the news you might consider this post from Common Sense Media and their rich cache of options for families. We are, as always, grateful too for the resource sharing by the PTA, below, through Konstella, and in the Richmond Equity Space.

THANK YOU, ありがとうございます, Arigatōgozaimasu!
