HELP FORM

This year Farnsworth will have a Mental Health Support Team to help meet the needs of our students. This team is designed to promote the wellbeing of all students at the school. During this distance learning time children may be experiencing many different feelings. The team will work with families, teachers, and staff to make sure that students have the social-emotional support they need to be successful and thrive in school and life.

If you would like someone from the team to reach out to you regarding a concern about one of your children, please fill out the Farnsworth PreK-4 Help Form and note that you would like someone from the team to reach out to you.
