Student-Led Conferences
Childcare for school-aged children during student-led conferences is free of charge, no registration required. If you plan to use childcare bring your child(ren) to the appropriate place (see below) and speak with EverAfter staff to sign them in and out. You MAY NOT just send them to wherever you see other kids. It'll take you a few minutes to do that; please plan accordingly so that you are not late to your conference time--your child's teachers' time is both valuable AND limited!
If you prefer not to use EverAfter, please keep your children with you, or just outside of whatever classroom you are conferencing in. Unsupervised kids will be sent back to their parents or to the main office. Thanks for keeping kids supervised and safe!
Thursday 9/26: Evening Conferences
We will host drop-in care on the Lower Playground and Multipurpose Room from 3:55-8:00pm.
Friday 9/27: Morning Conferences
We will host drop-in care in the Gym.
If you need all day care for your child on the 27th, and you are registered for EverAfter, please refer to information in the EverAfter Newsletter dated 9/18.

September is Suicide Prevention Month
Suicide is a difficult topic to talk about, we know. But with suicide being the second leading cause of death among youth ages 10-24, the need to be open and honest is even greater.
There is a common myth that by talking about suicide, you may plant the idea in someone’s head. However, studies have shown that by talking about suicide and using the direct language, the risk can be greatly decreased by youth who have been thinking about suicide. If you are having concerns, here are some great resources to help facilitate this important conversation with your kids. Also know that your school counselors are available to help support your family and please reach out to us with any questions or concerns you have around this topic.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 immediately.
You can also chat with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988lifeline.org.
Shine On, Shine On!
