New Free Resource for Parents
Is your child anxious? Does your child refuse to listen? Do you need help with how to deal with a sensitive situation? Are you worried about the appropriate way to discuss a “hot topic” with your child? Do you need guidance on how to best communicate with your kiddo? Don’t worry, this resource is for you!
Harrisburg CUSD 3 is proud to put in place resources for parents and caregivers to support their kids with common social and emotional challenges going through school. ParentGuidance.org is a free website for parents or anyone to have a trusted place to go when they have questions. The goal is to empower you as a parent/caregiver to have a positive impact on your child’s mental health and teach them how to tackle hard topics and situations.
Egyptian Health Department is working with us to provide a new webinar series each month and parent coaching services through our partners at ParentGuidance.org. Both services are confidential and are free to parents who need it. Attached, you will find a flyer with more information on how you can sign up for this free and confidential service. The first webinar series is tomorrow night, Oct 29 with a focus on Mindfulness! Don’t miss it. More information can be found on our website www.harrisburg3.org under the "News" section. The district will keep you up to date with parentguidance.org materials and news!



Today, we honor and celebrate the incredible principals in our district who lead with dedication, passion, and commitment to our students, staff, and community. Let’s take a moment to show our appreciation for these amazing leaders who make a difference every single day. #BulldogNation #ThankAPrincipal 💜
