Important message from the Counselor:

Attention Parents- During the month of November, the counseling lesson for 6th graders will cover the Signs of Suicide. A letter has been sent home with your student early this month which contains information about this lesson. While this is a very important lesson for students to learn; we understand that some students may not handle to content well and may need to opt out. If you feel your student should NOT be in the lesson, please sign the “opt out form” and send it back to your student’s homeroom teacher. Students who opt out of the lesson will be allowed to go to the library or the focus room instead of the lesson. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Wilson at jrwilson@spsmail.org.

Thank you!
