Important message about upcoming history unit

Parents and students,
As we begin studying the Civil War, I want you to remember that the things and subject matter we learn is sensitive.  It will sometimes be difficult to learn about some people or situations because they will stir up a lot of emotions.  But, understanding and having knowledge of our country and its past can help us be better citizens and people.  Take the information that you learn about the Civil War and become a better person because of it.
“Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.”
-Winston Churchill         

Parents, I encourage you to discuss these Civil War events with your student.  Students, if you have concerns, questions or need clarification about the material you are learning about, go to a trusted adult.  The content you are studying is not one that you should be researching on the internet alone.
