All Grades:

We want you to "Be REAL" about suicide prevention, so today our focus is on Respecting the physical, social, and emotional well-being of yourself and others. Growing up is not easy. You face many tough decisions and difficult life experiences that at times seem overwhelming. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for students in middle and high school and it can be prevented if adults and friends are aware of the warning signs and know what to do. If you can't get to an adult, please remember to use our Safe2Tell hotline.


Reminder:  Food, candy, drinks, and gum are not allowed in the Library at any time.  Respect and love your library!  Also, if a student checks out a Chromebook from the Library, it MUST be returned the same day.  Students cannot check them out overnight.
