We are excited for the return of our annual Haunted High this Saturday 6:30-9. Students have been busy planning and collecting materials for this year's 'Circus' theme. Be on the look out for scary clowns. This event is open to the public, but it is not free child care. While we welcome everyone, please accompany any student who is not of high school age and maybe leave the really little ones at home. There will be limited games and refreshments for sale in the gym while you wait, and, well, recover. It can get a bit terrifying at times in those hundred year old dark hallways.

Dear Families,

PA is taking part in a youth behavior survey on Wednesday, October 23rd. This survey covers topics of substance use and youth assets, and is for students in grades 7 through 12. This survey provides a real time look at how our youth are thinking about substance use and what kind of risks and help they’re experiencing. The survey is designed and supported by our community partner Healthy Lamoille Valley, a substance prevention coalition serving the Lamoille Valley region. Healthy Lamoille Valley is a program of the Lamoille Family Center.

This survey is administered via school-issued tablets or laptops. Please make sure your student has their charged device at school. This survey is anonymous and survey procedures are designed to protect student privacy. Student login information and IP addresses are not recorded or tracked.

Some students may find some questions to be sensitive. School counselors will be available to any student who would like to talk about anything that is in the survey. Participation is voluntary but it is important that all students are given the opportunity to participate in the survey so we can be sure the results are accurate. Students may opt out or skip any questions they wish. As a caregiver, you have the right to decide if your child participates. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like your student to opt out of this survey, please contact me at margo.warden@lamoillesouth.org by Monday, October 21st. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely, Margo Warden

Student Assistance Counselor
