ID Badges and Bus Riders
ALL students who ride a bus MUST have their badge to ride the bus home in the afternoon unless they have a note from an administrator. Remember that ID badges are part of the dress code. They should be worn around the neck every day. Students can see Mrs. Wood in the office to buy a replacement badge for $5.
Signs of Suicide
Our school uses SOS Signs of Suicide, a suicide prevention program that educates students about the relationship between suicide and depression. We encourage all students to seek help from trusted adults whether they have concerns about themselves or a friend using the ACT® message.
- Acknowledge that you are seeing signs of depression or suicide in yourself or a friend and that it is serious.
- Let you friend know how much you Care about them and that you are concerned that they need help.
- Tell a trusted adult that you are worried about yourself or a friend.
Please check out this CISD video to learn more about this program. https://www.crandall-isd.net/departments/social-emotional-learning/suicide-prevention-awareness-month
Our counselors are going into Career and Innovation classes through the end of the month to present these lessons. If you would like to OPT your child OUT of the program, please click the link below.
