Hi John,

It’s wild that we’re already thinking about the back-to-school season! As a former teacher, though, I can assure you - school staff have been busy all summer preparing for the upcoming school year.

I know that you, like others across Wisconsin, care deeply about the safety of our children. That’s why I’m inviting you to a virtual panel discussion about the physical and psychological safety of Wisconsin youth in our schools. 

Sign up here to join us next week, and hear from experts on school safety planning, safe storage, and inclusion and belonging.

What: School Safety Panel Discussion, hosted by the Wisconsin Office of Children’s Mental Health

When: Wednesday, August 21, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

I’m so honored to be a part of this panel because too often, discussions of school safety focus solely on physical safety and hardening our schools. This discussion will address the importance of emotional safety and how to create an environment where our students can thrive, both physically and psychologically. 

Panelists:

Trish Kilpin, Director of the Office of School Safety, Wisconsin Department of Justice

Laurice Snyder, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Consultant, Center 4ALL at CESA 6

Heidi Johnson, Communications and Public Relations Manager, WAVE Educational Fund

I can’t wait to see you there!
