WELCOME
Healthy MInds Surveys are here!
Surveys will be handed out and collected next week at the drop-off and pickup lines. Alternatively, you can print out the Survey here, fill it out and drop it off at school in a box in the office. We have info from school assessments on what students have expressed as their needs, but preliminary info shows that parents see different needs for their students and families. Parents: Please answer the survey and return it to school or complete the online questionnaire when it becomes available and let us know what concerns to address with our Program.
upcoming Safety Event
In support of our Healthy Minds Programming, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force member and retired police officer Joe Dugan will be coming to speak at Wood on March 20th at 6:30 pm on Internet, gaming, and social media safety, best practices, parenting, etc.
This talk is open for all parents and middle school-aged students and older. It would not be appropriate content for younger children.
Stay in the loop!
