Is your child dealing with grief, anxiety, loneliness, or perhaps they just lack motivation? During an ordinary school year, students and families experience stress while juggling schoolwork and extracurricular activities in addition to family and social issues. COVID-19 has, understandably, caused additional stress for us all. Join Amy Crist and Lacee Wall, counselors, at Snyder ISD's primary school campus, as they discuss ways to help your child through challenging times. Submit your questions: You may submit your questions in advance by emailing questions@snyderid.net, commenting on this post, or you can submit your questions during the session using the "chat" or "Q&A" feature in the zoom webinar.

We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.
