Fredericktown Local Schools, in collaboration with Nationwide Children’s Hospital, is providing a training for the 7th and 9th graders called Signs of Suicide. The goal of the curriculum is to prevent and reduce suicidal behavior by expanding the safety net for students experiencing mental and emotional distress. The 9th grade students who did no have health class last semester will be receiving the program in health classes on January 23 and 24. An Opt-Out form will be sent home with your student. You can access the Opt-Out form here. Please sign and return the form if you do not wish your child to participate. The Signs of Suicide (SOS) Program offers Parent/Caregiver training. You can find the schedule of available training dates here.
