SPECIAL Blue Devil Bulletin

We are canceling the schedule VAPING EDUCATION until after the Holidays. More information will be shared at a later date. Thank you.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As part of our ongoing commitment to the health and well-being of our students, we are pleased

to announce an exciting new initiative: a Student Success and Accountability Program at

Grosse Pointe South High School. This program is the result of a partnership between our

school, the Family Center of Grosse Pointe & Harper Woods, and Face Addiction Now (FAN),

an organization dedicated to raising awareness about substance use and addiction.

Our goal is to proactively educate and empower students to make informed, healthy decisions

about substance use. We understand that conversations about substance use can be difficult, but

they are essential. This program is designed not only to prevent substance use but also to create a

supportive environment where students feel empowered to make healthy choices and reach out

for help if needed.

The program will include:

 Educational Workshops: FAN will provide the evidence-based, age-appropriate

educational sessions that provide students with the latest information on the risks of

substance use, including alcohol, vaping, and other drugs.

 Resources for Families: The Family Center will offer ongoing support, including access

to educational materials, community services, and family counseling resources if needed.

Thank you for your partnership in supporting the health and safety of our students. We recognize

the importance of engaging parents and families in this process, as you play a crucial role in

supporting your child’s well-being and making sure they are equipped with the knowledge and

tools to navigate challenges they may face. Together, we can make a positive difference and help

our children grow up in a safe and healthy environment.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact Officer Jim

LaBeau at (586) 295-0153 or Labeauj@gpschools.org.

Sincerely,

Officer Jim LaBeau
