Culver City Families, Any report of violence in schools is hard to understand. Especially for children. As our hearts go out to all the students, staff, and community members affected by today's tragedy at North Park Elementary School, we also want to provide our teachers and families with tools and resources to help facilitate conversations after a school shooting and gage or manage student distress. Below, please find a list of links and articles that are well-vetted and designed to assist parents and educators in moments like these. There is no excuse for violence on a school campus.
