Even as our country begins to “open,” the Covid-19 pandemic is still very much a current issue that has continued to impact students and families nationwide. How can we help our students cope? In this webinar, Dr. Scott Poland discusses the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and offers strategies for easing uncertainty and anxiety, supporting students through missed milestone celebrations, and managing social life through digital devices.
Dr. Melissa Reeves discusses the many challenges parents and educators are facing as they continue to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic with students. How can school leaders maintain hope and inspiration for school communities to make sure student needs are met? And how can parents support school efforts?
As schools transitioned to online distance learning in recent months, the number of children with online access dramatically increased – an issue that many families will continue to experience this upcoming school year. How safe are students in this new environment? Nick Chernoff, Senior Threat Analyst with Safer Schools Together, encourages parents to take a deep breath and know that we will be okay. Chernoff shares practical knowledge and tips schools and families can use to keep our students cyber safe.
It’s been a challenging few months and certainly not what any of us had planned or envisioned. What are students feeling during the pandemic? What current events are they concerned about? What concerns do they have about returning to school? How can students improve safety? Pull up a chair and listen in as student leaders have a frank conversation about their hopes, anxieties, and solutions for the upcoming school year.
In part two of the Digital Safety for Schools and Families web chat, we continue the conversation with Nick Chernoff, Senior Threat Analyst with Safer Schools Together.

He also offers advice for families and shares ways parents can help students make smart online decisions to help keep them safe.
In this web chat, Scarlett Lewis, Founder of the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement, discusses the importance of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in schools. After losing her son Jesse in the Sandy Hook Tragedy, Scarlett created the Choose Love Movement and became an advocate for SEL, a process that teaches children how to manage their emotions, feel connected, and have healthy relationships.
There is a lot of uncertainty about returning to school in the fall, leaving most schools with a logistical nightmare. For the final web chat episode of this season’s Tuesdays at the Table, we have an honest conversation with key school stakeholders about important steps, considerations, and concerns that will help us better prepare for school next year.
