Indiana Center for Prevention of Youth Abuse & Suicide (with support from Sylvia's Child Advocacy Center and Prevent Child Abuse Boone County) Presents Child Lures Prevention
- Think First and Stay Safe and Teen Lures are comprehensive body safety education programs that teach children in grades K-12 ways to keep their bodies safe.

An opportunity to speak with someone about body safety concerns will be offered to all students.
- The program will be presented to students at Zionsville West on Monday, November 20th and Monday, March 4th. Each presentation will be given in individual PE/Health classrooms at the middle school level, and will last approximately one-half hour. Although not required, each child's attendance in the program is strongly recommended. For additional information regarding our programs, please visit our website at www.indianaprevention.org

BLOCK SCHEDULE
- With our Veteran’s Day Program coming up, we will be following a Block Schedule on Thursday & Friday, November 9th & 10th. Teachers have already begun planning for this different arrangement of time so that we can utilize it in ways that allow for more full cycles of instruction and better connections.
- In the days leading up to it, we will communicate with students about this schedule so that they are well prepared, and we hope that their experience is a positive one.
Math Tutoring
- MATH Tutoring will be on Tuesdays from 4-5pm. Dates for the fall - November 7th, 14th, 28th; December 5th, 12th, 19th.
- There are also private one-on-one tutoring sessions for all grades and subjects which raise money for Second Helpings.
- Tutoring sessions not only benefit the middle schoolers, but they also count as service hours for high schoolers.
