Teachers and administrators should operate on the assumption that everyone,(students, families and staff) will have experienced some degree of anxiety and stress, uncertainty, illness, grief and loss.  \nSome will have been ill themselves, some will be grieving for a relative or friend who died, if not by illness, possibly from an accident or even suicide or violence. Some will have experienced hunger, abuse, neglect, evictions, domestic violence and/or community violence.  \nFor some students, the experience of social distancing and being home during COVID-19 will have been traumatic. Schools will likely see an increased number of learning, behavioral and emotional problems, from more students. For those who already have emotional and behavioral challenges, these could be exacerbated.  \nExisting disparities also will be more pronounced. Stressors from the transition back are likely to intensify and may impact learning and teaching.  \nThis guidance document addresses planning considerations for the social and emotional wellbeing of students and staff during the transition when schools reopen.  \nTable of Contents  \nMaximizing Ways to Ensure Your School is Friendly, Welcoming, Helpful, Non-judgmental and Caring ....................................................................................................................................... 2  \nMonitoring for Targeted Supports .................................................................................................. 3  \nSupporting Transitions During the First Weeks ............................................................................. 3  \nReopening Schools with a Sense of Exciting Renewal: Generating Hope and Resilience ............ 4  \nAddressing Grief, Loss and Traumatic Stress for Staff and Students............................................. 5  \nPreparing Staff to Respond to those Experiencing Grief and Loss ............................................ 5  \nHelping Others Dealing with Loss.................................................................................................. 6  \nHelping Students Who are Grieving and Reluctant to Return to School........................................ 7  \nPreparing for, Understanding and Responding to Traumatic Stress Responses in Students and Staff................................................................................................................................................. 7  \nCreating a Space Where People Feel Safe, Respected and Cared For............................................ 8  \nRe-engaging Students Disconnected in Instructional Activity ....................................................... 9  \nIncorporating Brain/Body Breaks into Daily Lessons .................................................................... 9  \nAppendix A: Wearing a Trauma Lens .......................................................................................... 11  \nAppendix B: Building Resilience ................................................................................................. 12  \nAppendix C: Crisis Hotline Information..................................................................................... 133  \nMaximizing Ways to Ensure Your School is Friendly, Welcoming, Helpful, Nonjudgmental and Caring  \nEach initial and subsequent encounter between school staff and students and families presents an opportunity for welcoming our school community (staff, students, families and other stakeholders) and providing support.
