Dear Squamish Families,

Dear Squamish Families,

As a team of committed Squamish Principals, we felt compelled to work together to get the most salient research out to the parents/guardians of our community. The stats and figures for adolescent anxiety, depression and suicidality across our continent are on the rise, and researchers are beginning to understand why. Our own District surveys show that children's mental wellness is a concern.

Over the course of this school year Squamish Principals will be sending out monthly blasts of content from the world’s top researchers on child and adolescent brains. Within this Blog, we will post discussion questions or things to consider when watching the video clips or reading the content. It is our hope that working together we can create the culture and environment to best support our kids. Click on the monthly posts in the top right of this screen.

We have the capacity collectively to create the nurturing environment to support our students in understanding the new paradigm of success.

Sincerely,

Principals of Squamish
