Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health First Aid

Youth Mental Health First Aid USA is a public education program which introduces participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents, builds understanding of the importance of early intervention, and teaches individuals how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. Mental Health First Aid uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to assess a mental health crisis; select interventions and provide initial help; and connect young people to professional, peer, social, and self-help care.

Parents, please talk with your students about vaping!

Did you miss picture day? Makeups are on September 11th.

We are gathering interest from our traditional student population about interest in an overnight student trip. This would be a school sponsored trip which is paid for by parents and through fundraising. This would be a travel opportunity offered to all students in 7th or 8th grade. As we investigate these possibilities, we would greatly appreciate your feedback on some preliminary information.
