Trauma Information Resource for Parents

Due to the events that have occurred this week and over the course of this school year, we wanted to share this resource with you which was shared with us by one of our mental health therapists.

Traumatic events can overwhelm a child and his or her capacity to cope. Wawasee Community School Corporation recognizes the pervasiveness of trauma and is committed to providing trauma informed support services in order to meet our students' emotional needs as well as managing their physical symptoms.

The following website has helpful information for you as parents as you pursue conversations with your child about the events of this year.

WCSC Bus Accident

Four Wawasee Community School Corporation school buses were involved in an accident after school today. The buses were transporting home Wawasee High School and Wawasee Middle School students.

Some students were transported to a hospital either by bus or ambulance, and a bus driver was air lifted from Wawasee Middle School. The rest of the students were transported by bus to Wawasee Middle School where health care workers checked on them, and a staging area was set up for parents to pick up their students.  At this time, we do not know the extent of students' injuries.

Students' possessions were taken off of the buses and will be kept in a secure area and then returned to students or parents on Thursday. If your student was involved in the accident, please feel free to contact your student's school tomorrow if you have additional questions.
