After a crisis occurs
The evaluation forms in this section may be found helpful in writing a follow-up report for the administration of a school/district. These reports could aid with revisions of adopted policies dealing with a crisis.
Announce any meetings for parents or the community that will be scheduled. Include any other information such as memorials or special activities that is important for the public to know.
Publicly thank any district employees, students, parents, or outside persons who played an important role in responding to the crisis and who deserve recognition. This may be most appropriate after the crisis has been resolved. The information can be part of the press release that provides an update on the situation. Press releases will need to be cleared by the school communication office.
Take Care of Yourself
Recognize and acknowledge your own feelings of loss and grief.
Talk to someone you trust about your feelings.
Be realistic about what you can do. Remember that it’s okay to take time for yourself.
Stick to a schedule as much as you can. It provides stability and the comfort of a normal routine when your feelings are out of control.
Give yourself permission to mourn. No matter what the nature of your relationship there is loss. Give yourself the same latitude you give your students.
Be kind to yourself. You don’t have to “get it all together” right away. You don’t have to do it all, be strong for everyone, or take care of everything. Treat yourself with the same gentleness and understanding you would anybody else.
