As parents and guardians all across Westchester County learn to adapt to these challenging times and make decisions on sending their children back to school, County Executive George Latimer sat down with White Plains School District Superintendent Dr. Joe Ricca, Department of Community Mental Health (DCMH) Deputy Commissioner Joe Glazer and DCMH Children’s Mental Health Services Program Coordinator Tori Shaw to discuss the mental health challenges facing our children during these tumultuous times. Ricca and Glazer also serve as Co-Chairs of Latimer’s newly formed School Reopening Working Group
Following Latimer’s premiere earlier this week of two PSAs on the importance washing your hands and a reminder to #WearAMask, the County Executive wanted to make sure the County’s youngest residents were not forgotten.
That is why he teamed up with “Coaster,” Playland’s mascot, and the Bee-Line Bus System’s “The Bee” on a fun set of short videos to help them adjust to “The New School Rules” – be sure to share these videos with your little ones as we all learn to adjust to the new normal.
