Conflict Resources
Talking about violence and conflict can be especially difficult to discuss with children. For this reason, Erie 1 BOCES leadership team and the I.D.E.A. Committee has started a collection of resources for teachers, parents and caretakers. This webpage will continue to be expanded throughout the school year.
If you have specific concerns or curiosity about how a topic is being handled at the school, consider reaching out to your child's teacher to learn more.
