Hi Manetuck Family,

Please know you and your family are in my thoughts. Below I have compiled some resources to aid you during this confusing time. Together as a community we will find a new normal and we can support our children to feel and be happy and healthy. I am available every school day (Monday-Friday) from 8:40 a.m.- 3:400 p.m. to answer questions, to respond to phone calls and to return e-mail messages.

Sincerely,

Dr. Torres
