As you are aware, Burgess Enrichment Teacher, Beth Clark, passed away unexpectedly last Friday at her home. We have met with our clinical support team and many other staff members and are prepared to receive the students today. Mrs. Clark had such a love for her students, and we will work hard to honor her devotion to them. Below, you will find a resource from the National Association of School Psychologists to assist in having conversations with your child.
