A Message from the Administration
by Jacqueline Parks
The tragic shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday has been
difficult to comprehend and process. Nothing can fully describe the grief we
all are feeling, nor can we fully understand why this took place. Our condolences go out to the families that have lost loved ones and the entire Newtown
community.
Please be assured that Williston has effective crisis plans in place and that
drills are practiced on a monthly basis. We have worked with the Williston
Police Department and Fire Department on these emergency plans and have
a well-established communication system with them. While no one can ever
guarantee that school violence will never happen, we do want to reassure our
parent community that precautions have been taken. As an added step, we
have started and will continue to review all procedures to see if any additional
steps are necessary.
Throughout this week, our staff have made themselves available to provide
additional supports for students in need. Teachers are following the lead of
the students on processing this event while considering their developmental
level. Many of our youngest ABS students have no knowledge of the incident. We do encourage parents to be ready for questions if and when your
child becomes aware of the tragedy. Some of our 3rd/4th students are aware
of the tragedy and have brought it up in class. In these cases, staff have
answered their questions calmly with as few details as possible. The overwhelming majority of middle level students came into school on Monday
aware of what had happened and feeling compelled to take action. As a starting point, each team observed a moment of silence to reflect on the tragedy.
As a reminder to parents:
*Parents and visitors must use the front entrance from 8:30-2:30 pm as other
entrances are locked.
*All visitors must sign in at the front office and get a Visitor’s Badge
*ABS is locking the double doors in the preschool/kindergarten hallways, so
that visitor’s have to check-in with the office before proceeding to any location in the building
(cont. next page)
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Administrative Message (cont. from page 1)
*Be sure your information cards are kept up to date with
names, addresses, email and phone numbers to reach
you in an emergency
We know it is very difficult to talk and process with
your child about events like this one. Here are some
tips to help:
*Let children take the lead in discussing violent events.
*Listen carefully and only answer the questions they
have.
*Be open to all their emotions
*Be honest in a developmentally appropriate way
*Offer reassurance about his/her safety

Gently used Clothing Needed at WCS
The Health Office staff often see students who need
a change of clothes for a variety of reasons. The most
common reason is for wet or muddy pants. We do not
keep extra clothes in the Health Office. Students are sent
to the PE teachers for shorts, sweat pants, or shirts. The
supply of athletic shorts and athletic pants are very low.
We would greatly appreciate any donations. Items can be
dropped off at the front office or in the Health Office.
Thank you so much!
*Limit exposure to television and the news
*Access this link for other ideas NASP link
http://www.nasponline.org/resources/crisis_safety/terror_general.aspx
In times such as these, it is important that we all work
together to reassure our children that they are safe and
cared for in our community. While we acknowledge evil
is present in our world, we also know and believe in the
goodness of people. By focusing our efforts together we
can navigate this horrible situation.

Get Your Flu Shot
The Williston School District Health Offices would
like to encourage you to get yourself and your children
vaccinated with the seasonal flu shot. The immunization
includes the H1N1 flu vaccine as well. We will not be
offering immunizations for students at school this year,
but they are available throughout the community, at local pharmacies and at your physicians’ offices.
We urge you to call and make arrangements today,
as the cold weather approaches, and we spend more time
in close quarters. As always, please continue to wash
your hands, keep yourselves hydrated, well nourished,
and then…. wash your hands again!!!
Student Vision and Hearing Screening
Health Offices at WCS and ABS are currently testing students’ vision and hearing. Vermont schools are
required by the state to test students vision and hearing in
Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade. Students in 7th grade
will only have a vision test. If we find a
problem you will hear from us by phone.
We will also send a referral letter. If you do
not hear from us, your child passed their
screening. If you have concerns, and feel
your child needs to have a vision or hearing test, please contact the Health Office at
your child’s school. Thank so much!

LIVING IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
Life is always uncertain—recently we have been reminded of this uncertainty at every turn. Media headlines,
news reports, and conversations are filled with reminders that while the particulars of our lives may not have
changed very much, we are being forced to make sense of events which have the potential to dramatically alter
our lives. Children are barometers, and they often reflect the subtle feelings of the adults in their lives. While
they are usually very trusting and adaptable, some children may start to exhibit signs of stress due to world
events.
What might children be feeling?
Emotional responses may vary with different children but your child may have some of these feelings:
Fear: This is likely to be the main reaction. Children fear for their safety and the safety of others. Their fears
may be unreasonable (such as a bomb dropped on their home or school) and they may have trouble keeping true
possibilities and imagination separate.
Loss of Control: This feeling—that the loving adults in their lives cannot assure their safety—can be overwhelming and confusing. Children may grasp at any control they can have. If a child has suffered other
losses or traumatic events, memories of those events may surface.
Anger: Anger may be expressed and directed toward the adults with whom the children feel most secure.
What can I do as a parent?
○ Acknowledge your child’s feelings. Allow for dialogue but don’t force it. Ask what they’re thinking
about the situation and why. While it’s important to be honest with your child about your own fears and
concerns, remember to DO MORE LISTENING THAN TALKING! If a child is very upset, it may not
help to deny the seriousness of their feelings by saying, “Don’t worry; it will be OK.” However, it is
always essential to express hope that things will work out.
○ Control the environment of your home. Limit exposure of young children to TV or discussions, especially if your child seems anxious or sensitive. If watching TV seems to affect your child, you may need
to limit its use in your home.
○ When discussing the situation, stick to the facts. Dispel rumors. Stress the seriousness of the situation
without increasing their fears or making light of it.
○ Reassure your children of your commitment to their safety, as well as the commitment of other adults in
their lives (teachers, relatives, military).
○ Don’t project your fears onto your children. Children will reflect your level of anxiety. Monitor and
regulate your own feelings and take the time to address your own needs.
○ Keep lines of communication open with your child’s teacher. The school counselor can help you or
your child if your child is having symptoms of anxiety beyond what you feel able to respond.
○ Be flexible with sleeping arrangements if needed. Bedtime routines, nightlights, allowing siblings to
sleep together, or sitting with your child may help provide a sense of security.
○ Sometimes children cannot put their feelings into words. It may help to voice their fears for them… “It
seems like you’re really worried about this.” Or “You will always be taken care of.”
○ Older children often need help identifying how they feel about terrorism and war. Questions such as
“How could people hate us this much?” may need discussion.
The counselors at your child’s school are available to all students and parents. Please call if you have questions or concerns about your child.

‘Tis the Season to Model Responsible Use of Alcohol
Adolescents often have their first experiences with
alcohol at family gatherings and celebrations witnessing
a family member or friend consume alcohol. We often
forget that our children are looking to us to set a positive
example of appropriate use.
You can teach and model responsible and appropriate
use of alcohol and by doing so will be giving you child
important tools that will help them make healthy choices
in the future.
Appoint a designated driver if you are planning to drink
and abstain from drinking if you are planning to drive.
As hosts, collect keys with coats, offering coat room style
tags with a message such as “Friends don’t let friends
drive drunk.” That way, when a guest turns in their tag
for their coat, you can have a better sense of the driver’s
readiness to drive home. As hosts, you could be held responsible if someone drives from your activity and is then
involved in a crash.
Do not allow drinking games.
Instead, offer lots of activities and games that are alcohol
free.
Limit the amount of alcohol in your home.
Refrain from pushing alcoholic drinks
Do not allow underage drinking.
Instead, provide non-alcoholic alternatives.
Depending on the scene of the gathering, evaluate whether
it would be an appropriate event for your child to attend.
Know that even though your child might be in bed during
a party, they may be sneaking peaks downstairs.
Do not drink on an empty stomach.
Instead, be sure to serve food if you are serving alcohol.
Wishing you and your family a safe and enjoyable holiday
