SRO CORNER - December 2025
Mental Health and Safety: When to Ask for Help As the year winds down and the holidays approach, many families look forward to rest and celebration. But for some students — and even parents — this season can also bring added stress, anxiety, or sadness. Between changes in routine, academic pressure, and social challenges, it’s important to remember: no one has to face tough times alone. Recognizing when to reach out It’s normal for kids (and adults) to have bad days. But if you notice your child is consistently withdrawn, irritable, struggling to focus, losing interest in things they usually enjoy, or talking about feeling hopeless, those are signs it may be time to ask for help. Early support can make a big difference — whether the concern is about mental health, safety, or general well-being. How to start the conversation - Listen without judgment. Let your child know it’s okay to talk about how they feel — and that asking for help is a sign of strength. - Keep communication open. Even short, daily check-ins can help your child feel seen and supported. - Model self-care. Kids learn from what we do. Taking care of your own mental health shows them it’s important and normal. Resources available in our schools and community Each Poudre School District school has counselors, psychologists, and other caring adults who are here to help. Our School Resource Officers also partner closely with these teams to support student safety and well-being. If you or your child ever have concerns about safety — for yourself or someone else — please reach out right away. You can contact: * PSD Mental Health Services: https://www.psdschools.org/programs-services/mental-health services/mental-health-resources-parents-caregivers *Safe2Tell Colorado: 1-877-542-7233 or safe2tell.org (anonymous reporting 24/7) * CAYAC (Child, Adolescent & Young Adult): 970-221-3308 or info@healthdistrict.org. * SummitStone Health Partners — 24/7 Crisis / Urgent Care: 970-494-4200. Together, we can create a community where every student feels safe, supported, and heard — during the holidays and all year long.
Have a happy holiday season, SRO Dave Wilson

News from the Health Office
As we enter our Fall and Winter seasons, we often see increased illnesses in our students. Just a friendly reminder, please do not send your child to school if they are feeling ill. Several symptoms such as Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever of 100.4 or greater, Flu-like symptoms, and Respiratory viruses are reasons for students to stay home, and they may not return to school until 24 hours after their last symptom and without using fever-reducing medications.
Any medications, whether prescription or over the counter, that your student may need at school must have a signed order from your doctor, this includes cough drops, ointments & eye drops. We have been seeing several cough drops at school and medications in backpacks.
Please reach out to the Health Office, 970-488-7941, with any questions.
Thank you for keeping all of our students healthy & safe.
