Mental Health Day.

Students may receive an excused absence (1 day) each semester of each each school year for a student's mental health needs. A note from a physician to excuse a student's absence for mental health needs is not required. Please be mindful that students will still be responsible for completing the assignments missed for the Mental Health day upon their return.


Telehealth

Through a partnership with the Prince George’s County Health Department and Hazel Health, free healthcare services in schools. When students aren’t feeling well at school, the school nurse can now initiate a telehealth visit with a pediatric provider within minutes.

Parents will also be able to access Hazel free of charge Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. if their child becomes ill at home.

In November, the service will include elementary schools, and will also include mental health teletherapy. Be sure to sign the student access form so your child can access these health benefits. There will be a Hazel access button soon on school websites. https://my.hazel.co/pgcps/info

Reusable Water Bottles

We are encouraging our students to use their reusable water bottles in an effort to reduce our schools plastic use, which is the most destructive to the environment.
