Welcome Back!
Hello Parents!
We know the first month of school can be hectic with scheduling and getting students back into the flow of routines, and we want to commend everyone for getting to August 30th. As we roll into September the counselors are ready to drive into full gear with information and updates for all grade levels.

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month – a time to remember the lives lost to suicide, acknowledge the millions more who have experienced suicidal thoughts, and the many individuals, families and communities that have been impacted by suicide. It’s also a time to raise awareness about suicide prevention and share messages of hope.
During September, and throughout the year, we can care about suicide prevention; connect to community, culture, data, and research; and collaborate with others to address this public health problem that has impacted millions of Americans.
9th Grade Guidance (09/03-09/06)
Counselors will be meeting with 9th grade students the week of 9/3-9/6 during their ELA classes to provide them with information on "Experiencing Alliance."
Thank you for being with us!
In August, we want to thank our parents for coming out to Curriculum Night and Senior Information Night. We also want to take a moment and Welcome Megan our Therapy Dog to the team. Megan will be in the counseling office about twice a week to provide comfort and be a friend to everyone at Alliance.
