Please join the Region 2 National Preparedness Division for a webinar on back-to-school preparedness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Transitioning back to early childhood programs or school— or starting them for the first time—can create extra challenges during a pandemic. Angelika Claussen, Research Psychologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will describe what early childhood care and education program administrators, teachers, and parents can do to help children make a successful transition to in-person learning and care. Glen Karpovich, Emergency Management Specialist of the Region 2 Administration for Children and Families (ACF) will discuss how to prepare students for returning to the classroom in a COVID-19 environment.
