Additional high school students are invited to apply to join the existing Student-Superintendent Leadership Team (SSLT).

If interested in joining, please use this link to apply.

The SSLT is a forum for students and the superintendent to discuss concerns, share ideas, and collaborate on initiatives that help guide district level decision-making.

Unique perspectives and voices at the table will help maintain environments that best support students. Students will also develop leadership, advocacy, and collaboration skills alongside a diverse community of peers.

Local law enforcement officials have issued new warnings after “rainbow” fentanyl pills were recently found in Snohomish County.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has also issued warnings about the “alarming emerging trend of colorful fentanyl” in the country that officials worry is aimed toward young people.

It is critical families understand the dangers of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is up to 100 times more potent than morphine. Authorities are increasingly seeing a wide variety of other drugs being laced with fentanyl — such as traditional prescription opioids such as oxycodone and hydrocodone or illegal opioids like heroin.

A lethal dose of fentanyl may be less than 2 milligrams, the size of four grains of salt.

Fentanyl overdose deaths are skyrocketing. In 2021, there were more fentanyl overdose deaths than all other drug overdose deaths combined, according to the CDC. Synthetic opioids — mostly fentanyl — now kill more Americans every year than died in the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars combined.

In response to this crisis, our district stocks the opioid reversal medication Naloxone on each campus. It is accessible with our automated external defibrillator (AED) units.

Talking with youth about drugs - Snohomish County

Snohomish County Overdose prevention Fentanyl

Many teens are curious about e-cigarettes. In 2022, about 14.1% of high school students and 3.3% of middle school students reported using e-cigarettes. Nearly half of high school students have tried an e-cigarette in some areas.

Many teens believe that e-cigarettes are safe. In reality, e-cigarettes contain nicotine and toxins, some known to cause cancer. Nicotine is highly addictive, especially to a developing teen brain. What begins as experimentation can easily lead to a lifetime of nicotine addiction.

It does not take that long for young people to become addicted to nicotine because:

• E-cigarettes provide nicotine in doses as large as, or larger than, regular cigarettes.

• Children and youth become addicted to nicotine much faster than adults.

• Nicotine has more harmful effects on the developing adolescent brain, making it worse for kids than adults.

• Nicotine use as a teen raises the risk of using other substances and experiencing addiction later in life.

To help our students make better choices, LA/LHHS is training students by using a resource called CATCH My Breath over several advisory lessons starting October 19th. More information is forthcoming.

Parents and guardians are automatically already set up to receive emergency alerts from the Stanwood-Camano School District via email, text, and phone call.

Now, students can opt-in to receive the same emergency alerts on their phone.

Please take a moment to follow this link or scan this QR code with your phone to complete the quick form to receive emergency alerts on your phone from the school district.

You'll then receive a text next week asking you to reply "Y" to opt-in to receive all future text alerts from the district.

Registration packets will be available in the main SHS office, in the SHS Commons, online at the SHS website/school departments/traffic safety education, and Lincoln Hill High School main office. Class will be online with in-person driving. Questions contact: Scott Knight , SHS TSE Coordinator 360-348-8009 or email dknight@stanwood.wednet.edu

All classes are taught by certificated Washington state instructors and graduates of Central Washington State University’s Traffic Safety program. Instructors are all certificated Washington state secondary instructors.

Tentative classes will be held online/in person (dates and times to be decided) depending on school class days, calendar, and state/county health guidelines. Drive schedules flexible to meet student-driver’s activities, work, and athletic schedules
