Support for Families Affected by the Flooding in Nepal

Dear INDY Families,

We are deeply saddened by the devastating flooding in Nepal. We know that members of our INDY community may have family, friends, or other close connections to the areas affected, and our thoughts are with everyone experiencing loss, uncertainty, or worry.

Our school social worker is available to support students who may be affected. We also have a parent volunteer with professional training and experience in counseling and social support who is available to help adults and families.

If your child or family could use support, please reach out to me directly at phansenschmitt@cv.k12.ca.us. We are here for you. Here are some other community resources available to you:
