On Monday, August 30, the West Windsor-Plainsboro School District learned of the tragic death of one of our staff members, Brian Welsh. We are deeply saddened by this loss and have our crisis management procedures in place to help your children.
Our district crisis team is supplemented by many community resources including the Traumatic Loss Coalition and local clergy members.
Your child may have some unresolved feelings that he/she would like to discuss with you. You can help your child by listening carefully, accepting his/her feelings, and answering questions honestly according to your beliefs.
